Tips to Make the Best Instant Pot Korean BBQ Beef

I was a little late to the Instant Pot game but my husband got a free mini one from his work so I dived right into it. I learned everything I could about the magical pot everyone talked about and now it is used 3-5 times a week. We added a 6-quart pot so sometimes I have two going at once. Here are some tips to help make the best Korean BBQ Beef your family has ever had.

Preheat the Oil. Make sure to preheat the oil before you saute the meat. Pick up the insert and swirl the oil around a little bit to coat the bottom.

Sauce too Thin? Mix together 1 TBL or Corn Starch and 2 TBL Water and add to the pot after cook time to finish. Make sure the pot is set to sauté. It will just take a couple of minutes.

Adjust the Heat. Want it a little bit spicier? Increase red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon and/or add a teaspoon of sriracha sauce.

Budget Friendly Swaps

I get so disappointed when I find a recipe online and want to make some swaps and the recipe doesn’t let you know if they work. These are some swaps you can use for this recipe.

Hokkien Noodles. Usually, these noodles are easy to find but I have swapped regular spaghetti noodles and it was still tasty. The texture is a little bit different, of course, but it doesn’t mess with the flavors.
Frozen Veggies. Don’t have fresh, use frozen. It may add a little bit more liquid, if that happens, then just thicken the sauce with the cornstarch method mentioned above.

Though you can use vegetable oil instead of sesame oil, I don’t recommend it. The sesame oil adds so much flavor to the dish.
