Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Pot Roast

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) with the rack positioned in the lower third.
Pat your chuck roast dry and season generously with kosher salt.
In a large Dutch oven, heat oil and brown the chuck roast on all sides for about 10 minutes.
Remove the beef and sauté the sweet onion for 4 minutes until softened, then add garlic and ginger for an additional minute.
Stir in gochujang paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce, mixing until well-blended.
Return the beef to the pot and cover with beef stock, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Cover the Dutch oven and braise in the oven for about 2 hours.
Let the pot roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving with rice, cilantro, and kimchi.

Notes

Browning the beef adds complex flavors. Keep the temperature low for tender meat. Allow the roast to rest before slicing for juiciness. Customize spices and add vegetables wisely.
