    Korean-BBQ-Steak-Salad

    Korean BBQ is having a moment in my house and by moment, I mean I’m making up large batches of this dreamy sauce and putting it on everything! EVERYTHING!

    Steak salad? Yep, put some sauce on and you’ve got next level steak salad. Oh, you want some pulled chicken for dinner? Sure put it in your slow cooker and top with this bbq sauce. You’re welcome!

    Maybe you want a little tofu and ramen? Pour some sauce on it! Perhaps, you’re just sautéing up some healthy veggies, toss with sauce.

    Making dinner dreams come true here! It’s what I do…

    Originally, I’d found a similar beautiful salad (cause salads can be so pretty right?) on Pinterest one night after falling down the Pinterest rabbit hole, when I should have been snoozing. Guilty, it happens!

    I thought to myself, “hmm, self this might be good as a Korean BBQ steak salad.” Turns out I was right and then the bbq mania fest began. It’s  a real thing.

    See the secret is always in the sauce and this not-so-secret, secret is that it’s easy! Like 5 ingredient in a food processor easy. It looks like this:

    • soy sauce
    • sesame oil
    • brown sugar
    • garlic
    • ginger

    Toss it in the processor and blend it all up. Low-maintenance, low fuss, it’s what we like for dinner. And because we’re talking steak salad here all you gotta do is sear up the steak and toss your salad ingredients. Dressing? No dressing? It’s up to you. You do you. I’ve included a pepper dressing cause it does add just a tad more flavor but so not necessary.

    Don’t just consider this for dinner though. Meal prep away with this salad. Take it from someone who’s gone Korean BBQ crazy. It’s perfect for lunch! You deserve this kind of lunch.

    Just promise me you’ll double batch the sauce cause it’s so good you’re gonna want seconds in the form of putting it on everything food has to offer. Extreme? Yes.

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • Try a different marinade. There are many ways to marinate this steak and create a completely different flavor. Try it Brazilian-style and make this Churrasco Steak instead.
