Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large, oven-safe pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  3. Remove the beef, then add diced sweet onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
  4. In a bowl, combine gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, and beef broth. Whisk until well blended, then pour over the aromatics in the pot.
  5. Return the beef to the pot, cover with a lid, and bake for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve over steamed rice, garnished with cilantro and kimchi.
