Lettuce Tacos with Grilled Sesame Beef

In this high-impact marinade, each of the six ingredients plays an important role. Based on a Korean-style recipe, it embodies the Asian technique of layering flavors. Here, nutty sesame seeds and sesame oil combine with a host of salty, sweet and spicy ingredients to create a dish that’s complex in taste, but still simple in execution.
