Korean Beef Tacos-
Shouldn’t there be some hotter spices in the soy/ginger sauce? Generally, Korean dishes like this are spicier from what I have had (chicken wings, soups…).
You can absolutely add 1 tablespoon of Sriracha or other hot sauce to your liking! I’ve customized my recipe to be a little more mild for kids or others who don’t enjoy spice, but it would be a delicious addition 🙂
So, does the steak goes in as a whole piece?
I prefer to dice it up first or you can add it whole and shred later.
I honestly have to thank you!!! As an oven, stove, grill cook I had a love hate relationship with my slow cooker (so many recipes include seasoning packets and canned soups, which are ingredients I refuse to use) until I discovered your blog! Thank you for teaching me the ways of the slow cooker!!! Made this today and my husband loved it saying should double the recipe next time!
Hooray! Thanks so much!
