2-3 lbs chuck roast A flavorful and tender cut of beef for the best results.
2 tablespoons gochujang This Korean chili paste adds a spicy and sweet kick.
4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic enhances the depth of flavor.
¼ cup soy sauce Provides a salty umami taste.

Method

Preparation

Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, and beef broth, mixing well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Let it simmer for about 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.
Once cooked, slice the beef and serve with the savory sauce, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Tips for Best Results: Don’t rush the searing; browning the meat well adds deeper flavor. Use a meat thermometer aiming for 190-200°F for the perfect tender roast. Let the meat rest for about 10 minutes after cooking for better juiciness. Variations: Add vegetables like carrots and potatoes, substitute with pork, or experiment with spices.
