  1. I love this recipe. It’s a staple at our house. We had Korean tacos at a local restaurant it was their special. I found this recipe use chuck roast cubed up. Add a few more Asian ingredients to our tastes and it’s perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe

  2. Absolute hit with the family. Easy and filling and very tasty. Added a tablespoon of sriracha to the marinade. Gave it a nice kick

  3. I never post on blogs – but i have to tell you that my 3 kids including 2 hard to please teens (broad palates, just teenagers) – DEVOURED this. and we served with korean paste and sriracha on the side so everyone can customized.

        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!

  5. 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…).

    1. 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 🙂
