For the beef
- 1 TB oil extra virgin
- 1 lb ground beef I used 90/10
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 TB sugar granulated
- 2 TB water
- ½ Asian pear chopped
- ½ onion chopped
- 1 TB minced garlic
- 2 TB sesame oil
- ½ TB ground pepper
- ½ TB grated ginger
For the rest
- 8 ounce extra-sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces tortilla chips about 3/4 of a standard size bag
- 3 green onions sliced
- 1 ½ cup kimchi
Make the beef: In a food processor or blender, add the onions, pear and ginger. Puree finely. Pour into a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and stir.
In a large saute pan, add the oil and the beef. Break up the beef and cook until browned. Add the soy/onion/pear mixture and mix well. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated.
Preheat the broiler to high.
On a sheet pan, layer the tortilla chips, beef, kimchi and cheese. Stick the pan under the broiler and cook about 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn. Cook until all the cheese is melted.
Garnish with the sliced green onions and serve!
