If you’ve ever experienced the delicious flavor of spicy/sweet Korean Beef, you already know how amazing it is – it’s the perfect combination of tangy and sweet, and we can’t get enough of it right now!
Korean Beef (also known as bulgogi) is a classic Korean dish of sliced beef that’s typically marinated in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and garlic. It’s totally versatile, and you can add any herbs and spices you like to make it even more flavorful; and the best part? You can throw everything in your Instant Pot and call it a day! It’s easy, great for meal prepping (you’ll definitely have leftovers), and super healthy. Here is one of our all-time favorite Korean Beef Tacos recipes!

The next time you cook an Asian-fusion dish, use our Korean BBQ Seasoning Mix and it’s sure to become the best Korean-inspired meal you’ve ever made!
Directions:
- Cut chicken into strips if using a whole breast. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon hot sauce.
- In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, and Spicy Buffalo Seasoning until combined.
- Dip sliced chicken into the egg, then dredge in flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken is coated.

Himalayan Pink Salt
Delicately-formed crystals, still in the fresh, pink bloom of youth, even though estimated to be around 800 million years old, Himalayan pink salt is an interesting historical, natural, and geological phenomenon, which has been hand-mined and hand-harvested for millennia, according to traditional methods. It gets its natural rose tint from the trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium naturally found in it.
