Easy Vegan Korean Beef

This easy vegan Korean beef is so flavorful and comes together in one pan. It only takes a few minutes to make and minimal ingredients. It’s an easy weeknight meal that is so delicious, especially over rice.

This easy vegan Korean beef is sweet, savory, and has a hint of spice just like traditional Korean bulgogi. Serve it with some rice and veggies and you got yourself a tasty meal the whole family will love! You can also eat with in tacos, sushi, quesadillas, etc. The options are endless!

All you need are some pantry ingredients and vegan beef crumbles. I like Alpha Foods’ plant based beef crumbles but you can use any brand. If the bag you have is larger than 8 oz, just make sure to adjust the recipe as necessary.
