Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut beef steaks lengthwise in half, then crosswise into thin strips.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, water, sesame oil, crushed garlic, and sugar to make the marinade.
  3. Add beef strips to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the beef to absorb the flavors.
  5. Remove beef from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
  6. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  7. Add beef in two batches, stir-frying each batch for 1 to 2 minutes until the outside is no longer pink.
  8. Return all cooked beef to the skillet.
  9. Add coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, and the cornstarch-water mixture to the skillet.
  10. Cook and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly.
  11. Warm the flour tortillas according to package instructions.
  12. Spread 2 teaspoons of hoisin sauce on one side of each tortilla.
  13. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  14. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling.
  15. Fold the right and left sides toward the center, overlapping the edges to create a packet.
  16. Serve immediately while warm.

Note

For best results, slice the beef against the grain to ensure tenderness.

If you prefer a spicier dish, add a dash of chili paste or red pepper flakes to the marinade.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the beef.

You can substitute coleslaw mix with shredded cabbage and carrots for a fresher crunch.

Ensure the beef is not overcooked to maintain its juicy texture.
