The 3-Ingredient Sauce That'll Make Your Next Taco Night Even Better

The secret to really good ones comes down to a few things: 1. Starting with a bomb protein. 2. Boosting it even more with a killer Korean marinade (which you can easily buy or prep yourself). And 3. Topping everything with a magic three-ingredient sauce (that's also really easy to make!).

Now, I'm no Roy Choi and these tacos you're reading about aren't the same recipe... at all. But, I came up with something mouthwatering but pretty straightforward that even my lazy self can pull off at home.

A quick primer on the meat: Galbi means "ribs" — and galbi short ribs come in two different cuts. In the English cut (regular galbi), ribs are separated and cut into short lengths. In the flanken cut (a.k.a. LA galbi), ribs are cut thin across the bones. It's what I'm using here, but both work fine!

Often when buying galbi, you can find it pre-marinated. Otherwise, you can marinate it yourself (for 2-3 hours) with a Korean BBQ marinade. Find that in the Asian aisle of your supermarket or online, like this one or this one from Amazon (the second one is also available at Target).

If you can't find short ribs or flanken cuts at your local market, you could sub with chuck roast. Although, you could also make these with chicken, pork, or tofu and the marinade! On top of the marinade, I cut up some onion to soak and cook with the meat for more flavor.

More specifically, you'll need ¼ cup mayo, 1 tbsp Sriracha, and 2 tsp lime juice (which works out to about half a lime).

You can scoop this right onto your tacos. Or if you want to get ~fancy~, scoop it into a Ziplock bag and cut a *tiny* hole in the corner to make it easy to drizzle.

Oh, and be sure to slice up some more lime to squeeze onto your finished tacos!
