I’ve been wanting to make these rolls (or are they more of a burrito?) for the longest time. A wrap made with spicy Gochujang (Korean chili paste), seasoned beef, and rice. I hesitated for far too long, worried that you all might not be into a beef roll, but got over it, and I’m so happy I did. I just love this recipe. It’s so simple, and similar to my Thai basil beef rolls, just a little more done up with rice and chunks of avocado. Originally, the idea came from my oldest brother, Creighton. Months ago he suggested a Korean beef burrito and I put it on my to-make list. Since then, the original idea shifted just a smidge to be simpler to make at home. Which we all can get behind!
Details
Step 1: make the rice
If you’re making rice for your rolls, start with that. I just made a simple pot of steamed jasmine rice. Not adding anything to the rice since the Korean beef is already so flavorful.
Step 2: cook the beef
For the beef, I like to use ground beef cooked with black pepper, garlic, and ginger. Then, in goes the tamari, the Gochujang, and a small drizzle of honey or maple. The Gochujang is key, but for the meat, you can easily use whatever you enjoy here, chicken or pork would both be great. If you’re having trouble finding Gochujang, you can just use regular chili paste/sauce.
Step 3: make the sauce
I mix cream cheese with mayo and some form of hot sauce, usually sriracha. The cream cheese is the secret here, and something I’ll often pair with salmon (see these yummy tacos) or use in some of my Mexican-inspired recipes. Cream cheese always makes a delicious sauce! Don’t skip it!
Step 4: assemble the rolls
Layer your warm tortillas with the hot beef, rice, avocado, cilantro, green onions, and mangos or red peppers – or both! You can also add sesame seeds if you like. Then tuck and roll the rolls up nice and snug. I serve these warm, with extra tamari, chili paste, and of course, that creamy sauce too. These wraps come together so quickly and have so much flavor, which you know we love! And I really appreciate all the fresh colors – the best kind of recipe that will put a smile on everyone’s face!
