Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large, heavy skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chuck roast, searing each side for about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Remove the beef from the skillet. In the same skillet, add chopped sweet onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, and beef broth. Whisk until smooth and pour this mixture over the sautéed aromatics.
  5. Transfer the beef roast back into the roasting pan, pour the sauce over it, cover with a lid or foil, and roast for 3-4 hours.
  6. Once tender, remove from oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve over cooked rice, garnished with cilantro and side of kimchi.
