Korean BBQ beef Bowl with Yum Yum Sauce

 You are going to find yourself making Instant Pot Korean BBQ Beef Bowl with Yum Yum Sauce over and over again!  So easy and delicious!

Korean BBQ Beef

There are so many things I love about this Instant Pot Korean BBQ Beef.  First of all, it’s easy and uses the Instant Pot.  Second, the flavor is crazy good.  And third, you can use the beef in lots of different ways such as tacos, by itself or in rice bowl. Finally, the yum yum sauce is amazing!!

And if you don’t have an Instant Pot, don’t worry!  I have included directions on how to make Korean BBQ Beef in your crockpot.  Just check out the recipe below!

How to Make Korean BBQ Beef

I used sirloin steak for these Korean BBQ Beef Bowls.  You will want to slice the meat into 1/4 inch thick slices.  Then put them into the Instant Pot along with a mixture of soy sauce, brown, sugar, garlic, vinegar, ginger, sesame oil and a little heat from some chile-garlic sauce.  Cook it on High Pressure for 15 minutes with a 10 minute natural release.

If you are loving your Instant Pot as much as I am, be sure and check out all my Instant Pot recipes.

Yum Yum Sauce for Korean BBQ

While the beef is cooking, use that time to mix up your Yum Yum Sauce.  The flavor in the beef is delicious, but the Yum Yum Sauce takes it off the charts on the delicious scale!  The Yum Yum Sauce is mayo based with lots of seasoning.  Don’t skip this part!

Korean BBQ Bowl

My favorite way to serve it is over rice with a side of broccoli slaw, a garnish of sesame seeds and green onions and lots and lots of Yum Yum Sauce!

This is the perfect weeknight meal that keeps giving and giving.  Make rice bowls tonight and then tomorrow make yourself some delicious Korean BBQ Beef Tacos.  Add the broccoli slaw into the tacos too for some yummy crunch.  Don’t forget to add the Yum Yum Sauce to the tacos too.  I prefer to use corn tortillas for the tacos.

    Love this recipe and so fast! I used a bottom round stir fry cut of beef and it was sooooo tender. Yummy. We don’t like our meat too sweet so I omitted the brown sugar but would probably use 2 tbsp next time.
