cup mayonnaise Juice of 1 lemon To serve: 8–10 tortilla wraps (store-bought).
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (to warm tortillas if not using microwave). Preheat barbecue hot plate or grill to high (if using).
Pat steaks dry with paper season to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook steaks for 2-3 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered in foil, to rest for about 5 minutes. Keep pan on heat. Pour Korean sauce into hot pan and allow to boil and foam for 30-60 seconds, until sticky and reduced. Remove from heat. Thinly slice steak against the grain then toss through the reduced sauce until coated.
Wrap stack of tortillas in foil and warm in oven for 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, cover with cling film and warm in microwave for 30–60 seconds.
To serve, place everything in the middle of the table for everyone to build their own tacos. Fill tortilla wraps with slices of Korean steak and top with bok choy slaw.
