Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1 -pound skirt steak, cut crosswise into thirds
  • Vegetable oil, for the grill pan
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons gochujang (Korean chile paste) or Sriracha,
  • plus more to taste
  • 1 cup kimchi, cut into strips
  • 1 firm pear, finely chopped
  • 12 6 -inch corn tortillas
  • 2 cups mixed Asian greens (2 ounces) or other lettuce
Instructions
  1. Whisk the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the brown sugar and garlic in a shallow dish. Add the steak and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature, 20 minutes.
  2. Brush a large grill pan with vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (do not pat dry) and grill 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, toss the scallions with 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Grill, turning, until charred, about 4 minutes; transfer to the cutting board and cut into 1-inch pieces. Slice the steak against the grain; toss with any collected juices.
  4. Whisk the mayonnaise and hot sauce in a small bowl. Toss the kimchi, pear and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in another bowl. Lightly char the tortillas over a gas burner, about 20 seconds per side. Serve the steak and scallions in the tortillas with the greens, spicy mayonnaise and kimchi-pear mixture.
