Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (4 to 5-pound) chuck roast, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Fresh cilantro, for serving
  • Kimchi, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F and position a rack in the lower third.
  • Prepare the Beef:
    Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season generously with kosher salt.
  • Sear the Meat:
    Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it glistens. Working in batches, sear the beef pieces on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes total. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
  • Cook the Aromatics:
    Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. If the aromatics brown too quickly, add ¼ cup of beef stock and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Build the Sauce:
    Stir in the gochujang paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce until well combined.
  • Combine and Simmer:
    Return the beef to the pot, including any juices from the plate. Add the remaining beef stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the liquid to slightly reduce.
  • Roast in the Oven:
    Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and shreds easily.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve the pot roast over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a side of kimchi for a perfect Korean-inspired meal.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, marinate the beef in the sauce ingredients for a few hours before cooking.
  • You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less gochujang paste.
  • To make the dish gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
