Korean-Inspired Beef Stir Fry takes the great basic flavors of Korean barbeque and makes an amazingly delicious and quick stir fry. You get the same balance of sweet, salty, tangy as this Korean Chuck Roast in a fraction of the time it takes to slowly braise a hunk of meat 🍖. Such an easy and tasty weeknight dinner with minimal prep definitely checks all the boxes. ✅ ✅ ✅ 

Mix up a quick marinade using some Korean staple flavors like soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar,  sesame oil, rice vinegar, and fresh ginger and garlic. Let the meat swim in that for as little as 30 minutes and you can already get to stir frying. You’ll want to use every last drop of this sauce as you cook up thinly sliced flap meat. Toss in two kinds of onions for the last few minutes and thinly sliced Korean red chili pepper so they keep their crunch and you’re done. 

Spoon heaps of this on top of simple Steamed Rice and serve with Korean Cucumber Salad 🇰🇷🥒 and kimchi. You’ll love how quickly this super flavorful meal comes together. It’ll be a new weeknight (or anytime!) favorite.
