Tacos are always requested in our house, so it’s fun when you can have tacos but change it up and have a different spin on them; even better if the recipe is still simple!
I love using my slow cooker to cook beef for tacos- it’s so easy to throw it together in the morning and let it slow cook in the crock pot all day. Our Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos are some of my favorite!
These Korean Beef Tacos always turn out perfectly juicy and full of flavor.

How to make Slow Cooker Korean Beef Tacos:
Spray the inner dish of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to avoid the sauces from sticking and burning on the sides.
Prepare the steak by trimming all of the fat and slicing it into thin pieces.
Put the steaks into a large mixing bowl and add the cornstarch. Mix the cornstarch and steaks together until the sirloin steak is all lightly coated. Place the steak strips have been coated with the cornstarch place it into the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with onions.
In a small mixing bowl, mix together sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and the brown sugar. Once the marinade has been combined completely, pour it over the sirloin steak strips in the slow cooker.
After everything is in the slow cooker, set the heat on low for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Then, just let the slow cooker do its thing!
Once the slow cooker has moved from heat to warming, start serving up the slow cooker Korean Beef Tacos! To build the tacos use your favorite tortillas (I like flour tortillas but any tortilla will do).
Then top the tacos with thinly sliced red cabbage and some fresh cilantro.
If you would like an extra kick to the Korean beef taco, top it with a chipotle aioli sauce. I had found some at the grocery store and it was the perfect addition to this already DELICIOUS taco.

could you do these in an instant pot, and if so how long do you think to cook the meat?
Could you use stew meat instead of steak?
AMAZING! made these for my husband and topped them with shredded carrots, avocado, and light yum yum sauce. can’t wait to make these again!! flavor is spot on
Does the brown sugar make this dish super sweet? My husband won’t eat anything sweet tasting.
No, it only calls for 1/3 cup so it’s not that sweet. Just the right amount.
My 6 year old asks for these at least once a week. Definitely a winner in my house for all.
Instant pot timing? Please?
With 2 lbs of beef, it should take 40 minutes to cook in the instant pot!
How would I make this a freezer meal from frozen? Would I need to thaw it before putting it straight into the crockpot or can you put it as is? If so, about how long would that take?
Thank you,
Chloe
You should be able to precombine the ingredients to freeze. I would definitely recommend letting it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before adding to the slow cooker
