Freezer Meal Korean BBQ Beef

Hello, lover.

This meat is delicious, juicy, full of flavor, and stupidly easy to make and freeze. Because the only thing better than Korean BBQ Beef is Korean BBQ Beef that you can prep in advance, with easy ingredients, and make in two seconds flat.

This meat is based off of several recipes for bulgogi – it’s not bulgogi, nor is it truly authentically Korean, but it is inspired heavily by those beautiful, umami-sweet flavors. The uses of this Korean beef are varied, but my personal favorites are the mash-ups that include things like food-truck style “burritos” or “tacos” or rice bowls – that sort of thing.

How To Make Freezer Meal Korean Beef

Okay, as with many good freezer meal recipes, this one starts with a quickly blended sauce. Pour that sauce over your meat and freeze it up!

When you’re ready for the magic, pull it out of the freezer and pop it in the Instant Pot! Shred and go.

This is a visual representation of my favorite fusion-style burrito of all time: Korean BBQ Beef, spicy mayo, kimchi or slaw, rice, peanuts, herbs… GAHHH. It’s so good!
