Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 5 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Kimchi, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season beef chuck with kosher salt and sear in batches until browned on all sides; set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add sliced sweet onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for another minute.
  3. Stir in gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), and beef broth. Bring to a simmer while scraping any browned bits from the pot.
  4. Return seared beef to the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the sauce. Cover and reduce heat to low; let simmer gently for about 3 hours or until tender.
  5. Shred or slice the beef as desired and serve over cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and alongside kimchi.
