Sesame Garlic Beef Tacos

This garlic and beef recipe is a standout thanks to fresh garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. As on BHG home cook raves, "Excellent combination of flavors! I couldn't find my red pepper flakes after I got that far in, so I used a few dashes of a Mexican hot sauce. (I'm sure the flakes will show up before the next round!) And seriously, I could—and did—eat the quick pickle cukes and cabbage all by itself"
