Try making this quick and simple Korean barbecue meat for dinner tonight.  The sweetness from the brown sugar balances the spicy chili garlic sauce.  You can choose chicken, pork or beef!  It’s a perfect sauce if you’re bored of plain old barbecue sauce and want to add an Asian flare to dinner.

Slow Cooker Korean Barbecue Sauce with Pork, Chicken or Beef

The other day, my husband and I were at Costco and we ate a sample of Korean BBQ pork jerky…it was so delicious! Don’t you just love the Costco samples?  The only complaint I have is that those sample ladies sometimes aren’t quick enough getting the samples out!  Especially went it’s like the dark chocolate covered acai berries or coconut cream chocolates 🙂  Maybe I should start working there and become the fastest sample distributor west of the Mississippi? Anyway, Greg told me, “you need to make something with that flavor in the crockpot!” So here I am reporting my results.  I made a Korean BBQ sauce and cooked it with pork in the slow cooker.  We liked the pork but if you don’t eat pork or want to try this with chicken or beef instead it would be awesome!

The sauce is only slightly sweet, which is how I like it–I don’t like sweet meat really. And it’s not too spicy at all!  My kids ate it just fine.  If you want more spice you can always add some sriracha or chili garlic sauce to your own individual portion.

    Love this recipe!!! I've made it with pork and beef, and it's great both ways, but I think it really shines with pork. I also love the sauce so much that I've thickened it up with a corn starch slurry and served it on top of the cooked meat with white rice. Yum!!!!

      Kristen, you've convinced me to put this on my menu for this week. I love the idea of using corn starch at the end.

    What kind of pork did you use? I have pork loin, but I'm afraid it might be too dry. I love Korean flavors!

      I think I used pork loin. But other cuts will work as well!
