Korean beef recipe
This Korean beef recipe is as simple as dinner can get!
I’m a huge fan of Asian flavors and you won’t be missing that at all in this Korean beef recipe.
The flavors of this dish will be dancing a happy dance all over your taste buds.
I want to say this tastes exactly like Korean bulgogi but with ground beef.
This is a mouth-watering, extremely simple recipe that you must try and get on your dinner table, ASAP!
Korean beef is also a great meal-prep recipe! It makes a decent amount and you can divide it up on a bed of rice for lunch or dinner.
It reheats marvelously!
How to make Korean beef
It is actually really simple to make.
The ingredient list is short and all you have to do is cook the ground beef and break it apart into pieces then mix in the sauce and you’re done!
Seriously, easiest dinner ever.
Can I make this with ground pork?
You sure can!
Can I mix this with noodles instead of rice?
That would be delicious!
I suggest mixing the Korean beef with rice noodles and tossing it all together with the sauce!
How can I make this vegan?
You can make this vegan by substituting the meat for tofu or another plant-based protein.
How long will this keep?
This should keep for at least five days in the refrigerator in an airtight glass container.

This is one of our family’s favorites!! We call them Korean Tacos. We put a spoonful of rice and one of the meat on a large lettuce leaf and top with chopped green onions. OMG! It is some kind of yummy!!! 😍
turned out turned out absolutely delicious, I used plant based mince, I served it with Asian slaw and steamed rice. Will definitely be a favourite recipe 🫶🏻
I am so looking forward to trying this recipe. My daughter swears by it..thank you.
Delicious, excellent!
Really tasty. Recommend by my sister in law. I added broccoli and sliced water chestnuts.
This had become a weekly rotation for us. I use korean chili flakes though and put a fried egg, chili oil, and green onion razzle dazzle on top. so yummy!!
I made this and it was really great. I am pairing it with lettuce cups for lettuce wraps tonight.
this was great!! And very easy!!!
This recipe is delicious and if you like alot of sauce double the recipe but reduce the sugar. I make with ground chicken or turkey and it turns out great!
