Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds beef cheeks
  • ¼ onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook beef cheeks until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 2
Stir chicken broth, soy sauce, green onions, sugar, and sesame oil into the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until beef cheeks are tender, about 2 hours.

Step 3
Remove beef cheeks from the pot using a slotted spoon; cut into bite-size pieces. Arrange beef on a dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 4
Place a scoop of beef and some kimchi over each tortilla.
