  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • Start by mincing the ginger and garlic. Slice the red bell pepper and chop the Thai basil. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium-high heat. Season the inside round steak with salt and pepper. Add the steak to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of canola oil. Sauté the minced garlic, ginger, and sliced red bell pepper for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  • Add the sliced steak back to the skillet along with the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and chopped Thai basil. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and Sriracha sauce to taste.
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Once warm, layer the beef and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Top with chopped peanuts for crunch and additional Thai basil if desired.
  • Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing. Enjoy your delightful Asian tacos with friends and family!
