  1. 1Mix the soy, grated pear, garlic, ginger, brown sugar and sesame oil in a bowl. Add the beef and toss. Marinate 20 minutes at room temperature.
  2. 2Toss the shredded cabbage and chopped kimchi with the lime juice. Whisk the gochujang into the mayonnaise with 1 tsp water until smooth.
  3. 3Heat a heavy pan on high heat until it smokes. Add the oil, then half the beef and onion in one layer. Sear 2 to 3 minutes, tossing once.
  4. 4Repeat with the rest of the beef and onion. Scrape up the sticky bits with 1 tbsp water and pour them over the meat.
  5. 5Warm the tortillas on a dry tawa on medium heat, about 30 seconds a side. Stack them in a clean cloth.
  6. 6Stack two tortillas per taco. Add beef, then slaw, a zigzag of gochujang mayo, spring onion, sesame and coriander.
Serve it like this

Stand three tacos in a row on a long plate, leaning on each other. Zigzag the gochujang mayo across all three and scatter sesame and spring onion over the top.
