    🍲 Storage

    To Store: Leftover Crockpot Korean Beef should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (These are my favorite airtight containers.) It will keep for 3-5 days.

    To Freeze: Place the beef into a freezer bag and label it. Store for 2-3 months.

    To Thaw: Remove from the freezer and allow to thaw in the fridge overnight.

    📖 Variations

    The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:

    • For a spicy kick, add a little sweet chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes.
    • Fresh ginger also so much flavor to the juicy beef but you can also use ground ginger.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    It's so easy to make Korean beef tacos with corn or flour tortillas, a bit of fresh lime juice, and all your favorite toppings. It's perfect for Taco Tuesday! My favorite way to top my Asian taco is with some purple cabbage slaw but it would also be good with a cucumber slaw.

    Make your own Korean beef bowls with white rice or brown rice topped with pickled red onion, bean sprouts, or sliced green onions.

    Korean beef sliders with Korean BBQ sauce. These are great for potlucks where everyone can assemble their own sandwiches.

    Substitute Korean beef for pulled pork in our lettuce cups.
