A rich and flavorful Korean-inspired pot roast featuring tender chuck roast slow-braised in a savory, slightly sweet gochujang sauce, served with rice, fresh cilantro, and a side of kimchi for a perfect balance of flavors.

  • Total Time: 2 hrs 17 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp gochujang paste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (4–5 lb) chuck roast, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • For serving: fresh cilantro, cooked rice, kimchi

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F, rack in the lower third. Pat chuck roast dry and season with kosher salt.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches (~10 min), then remove to a plate.
  3. Lower heat to medium, add sliced onion, cook 4 min until softened.
  4. Add garlic and ginger, cook 1 min until fragrant. If sticking, add 1/4 cup beef stock and scrape browned bits.
  5. Stir in gochujang, brown sugar, and soy sauce, cook 1 min to combine flavors.
  6. Return beef and juices to Dutch oven, add remaining beef stock, simmer 5 min.
  7. Cover and transfer to oven. Cook 2 hours until beef is tender and shred easily.
  8. Serve with rice, garnish with fresh cilantro, and add kimchi on the side.

Notes

  • Check and stir halfway through cooking to prevent sticking.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
