Korean BBQ Tacos

by

One this is for sure about the American palate. Our taste buds love to travel to exotic places. They lingered on Chinese food for years; then, Italian, Mexican, Pacific Rim and most recently with the Thai food invasion. These days, our flavor buds have acquired an insatiable appetite for Korean food; in particular, Korean BBQ. Five years ago, the term Bulgogi (grilled thin-sliced marinated meat) would have been as foreign as the most remote village on the Korean Peninsula. But today, Bulgogi is the new Big Mac. There is a lot to satisfy the taste buds with Korean BBQ, and the simple ingredient and ease of cooking makes for a happy cook, too! Here, Korean BBQ finds itself tucked inside warm, charred tortillas, making for an East-Meets-Southwest delight!

Pot Stickers

The Story

It’s not very often that I am gifted a sensational recipe from an exquisitely talented master chef. In this case, it’s a chef who is an inductee into the American Academy of Chef’s Culinary Hall of Fame, and the man who started the culinary programs at both The Art Institute of Phoenix and The Art Institute of Tucson. Now retired, Chef Bill Sy still guest teaches Asian Cuisine at the Art Institute of Phoenix, and if you want to learn the art of making a perfect pot sticker, he’s the man. Fortunately for all of us, Chef Sy believes in passing along ancient Chinese secrets. I was lucky enough to watch him in action years ago, and I’ll never forget the authentic flavor of the pot stickers and his simple technique for mastering those billowy pockets of goodness. So here is the recipe, from the chef who has won the respect and reverence of his peers, and who believes that cultivating talent and passing on traditions is his lifelong duty. Make him proud!

The Story

Best-selling cookbook author and host of PBS’s Primal Grill, Steven Raichlen shares a truly revered Rescued Recipe in his brand new cookbook, “Man Made Meals: The Essential Cookbook For Guys.” The recipe is for a sensational meat marinade, sure to be your go-to favorite for skirt steak, flank steak, or London Broil.

As the story goes, a Filipino-born immigrant named Sammy Ariola was at the end of his life. Rodolfo Lagua, a thirty-year California barbecue veteran had been his caretaker.

“I have no money for you to inherit,” said Ariola, as he lay on his deathbed, “but I’ll give you the recipe for my marinade.” Raichlen, researching the art of grilling tri-tips for his cookbook, met Lagua, and now the marinade is in safe-keeping in Raichlen’s cookbook. “Man Made Meals” is loaded with simple and speedy recipes and is packed full of practical tips, techniques, and secrets any cook would love.
Raichlen is the founder of Barbecue University, which offers three-day intensive courses on live fire cooking in Colorado Springs.

Some of his best-selling cookbooks include “The Barbecue Bible,” “BBQ USA,” and “Planet Barbecue.” He battled and defeated the Iron Chef in Japan in “Battle of the BBQ Gods” and has been named Cooking Teacher of the Year by Bon Appétit Magazine.

Raichlen can now add Recipe Rescuer to his long list of accomplishments.
