Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously season the chuck roast with kosher salt on all sides and let sit for 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a large Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chuck roast on all sides for about 4–5 minutes.
  4. Remove the meat and sauté sliced onions, minced ginger, and crushed garlic for 3–4 minutes.
  5. Stir in gochujang paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce or tamari with the aromatics, cooking for another minute.
  6. Return the browned chuck roast to the pot, add beef stock, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Cover tightly and bake for around 2 hours until the roast is tender.
  8. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding and serve family-style with rice and kimchi.
