Equipment

  • Dutch Oven
  • slow cooker
  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 each chuck roast (4 to 5-pound) cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 each sweet onion thinly sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic 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
  • 1 serving cooked rice for serving
  • 1 serving fresh cilantro for serving
  • 1 serving kimchi for serving

Instructions
 

Cooking Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the lower third of the oven.
  • Pat the beef dry and season all over with the salt. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, working in batches, add the beef and cook until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. If the aromatics begin to brown too quickly, add ¼ cup of the beef stock and scrape up the browned bits. Stir in the gochujang paste, brown sugar and soy sauce until combined.
  • Return the meat to the Dutch oven along with any collected juices. Add the remaining beef stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Cook for 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  • Serve the pot roast family-style with rice, cilantro, and kimchi alongside.

Notes

The recipe can also be adapted to use a slow cooker or Instant Pot for convenience.
