Notes
If you want to make the entire dish ahead of time, you can cook the Ground Beef Bulgogi and store it in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to eat. When holding it in the refrigerator, let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container and refrigerating it for 3-4 days. When storing it in the freezer, let it cool down to room temperature before transferring it to a freezer-safe container and freezing it for 2-3 months. How to Freeze To freeze the Ground Beef Bulgogi, let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. You can freeze or portion the entire dish into smaller containers for individual servings. To prevent freezer burn and ensure the best quality, remove as much air as possible from the container or bag before sealing it tightly. Label the container or bag with the dish's name and the date you froze it. When you're ready to use the frozen Ground Beef Bulgogi, transfer it to the fridge and let it thaw overnight. Alternatively, you can thaw it more quickly by placing the container or bag in a bowl of cold water. Once it's thawed, you can reheat it using the instructions in the previous answer. Note that frozen and thawed beef may have a slightly different texture than fresh beef, so the texture of the Ground Beef Bulgogi may change slightly after being frozen and thawed.
