This pizza has all the goods guys. The flavors are incredible and it's not hard to make. Plus, you can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

If bulgogi beef isn't good enough on it's own (ummm hello Korean Beef Nachos), the creamy kimchi sauce just puts this pizza over the edge. Add creamy burrata and a fried egg on top of that and OH MY GOD. This is good stuff.

As far as pizzas go, this was definitely one of our favorites, along with this Thai Chicken Pizza, Tandoori Chicken Pizza, Sardine Pizza and Brazilian Pizza are ultra easy to make and just so good! It's a great way to amp up your pizza game.

Step By Step Instructions

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the beef. Refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Heat a wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok.

Add the beef and cook for 3-5 minutes, until crisp and caramelized on the outside. Remove from heat and set aside. **Cook the beef in at least 2 batches to keep from overcrowding.

**You can also use this Sous Vide Skirt Steak (made with a bulgogi marinade) to make ultra tender beef for the pizza.

Place the flatbread (or naan, pita, premade pizza crust, etc.) on a parchment paper baking sheet and spoon about ½ cup of the kimchi sauce on (see below for sauce instructions).

Bake for 20-25 minutes until crust is golden brown and crispy. If you choose to serve the pizza topped with a fried egg, cook the egg in the last 5 minutes of the pizza baking.

Slice with a pizza cutter and sprinkle with fried garlic and gochugaru.

How to Make Kimchi Pizza Sauce

Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until lightly toasted.

Add the minced kimchi and cream and cook until reduced by half (5-10 minutes).

Expert Tips

Any kind of pre-made pizza crust, naan bread, pita bread, etc. can be used in place of the flatbread.
Cut the beef in small pieces, ½" if you can. They fit n the pizza better the smaller they are.
Fry the beef in batches to allow it to caramelize on the outside. Frying too much at once crowds the pan and prevent a crust from forming on the beef.
You can substitute chicken or pork for the beef. Try this Spicy Pork Bulgogi on top.
Add additional gochugaru on top to make it spicier. You can also add 1 teaspoon of hot gochujang to the kimchi sauce while cooking it to add some spice.
