Instant Pot Korean BBQ Hamburgers
I had three amazing students once upon a time, Danny, Sinai, and Kimiko, that took me to my first Korean BBQ restaurant and I was hooked. A couple weeks ago I was throwing around dinner ideas and had this Korean BBQ Fire burning inside me and also wanted a hamburger… bad! So I did a bunch of research and put together this beautiful concoction of explosive flavor. It makes four of the most tender and tasty burgers our instant pot has seen. I made a jalapeno corn slaw and some sweet chili sauce to go with it and included those recipes in the videos description as well. Oh my gosh I love food so much. Thank you Danny, Sinai, and Kimiko for the inspiration.
