Korean BBQ has its roots in Korea, where grilling meat is a cherished tradition that goes back centuries. It’s not merely about cooking; it’s about sharing food with family and friends, creating a communal experience. Korean BBQ usually features marinated beef, pork, or chicken grilled over charcoal, and when adapted for the crockpot, becomes an incredibly tender and flavorful alternative.
