My family loves it whenever I prepare any meal in a bowl, so I decided to prepare Instant Pot Korean Beef one chilly evening. Thanks to the Instant Pot, this is the easiest meal and comes together so quickly. Cubes of beef are dressed with a flavorful sauce, including gochujang, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. After a few minutes of cooking, the mixture is made even better when thickened. I love to serve it with steaming white rice garnished with thinly sliced green onions. This meal turned out delicious and has become a new family favorite.
