Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Style Pot Roast
  1. Generously season the chuck roast with kosher salt on all sides. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chuck roast on all sides for about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Remove the roast and sauté sliced sweet onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger for about 5-7 minutes until onions are soft.
  4. Stir in gochujang paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce or tamari. Mix thoroughly and let flavors meld for about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in beef stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Scrape the bottom to deglaze and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Return the roast to the pot, cover, and bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 2 hours.
  7. Let the pot roast rest for 10 minutes after cooking, then slice or shred and serve with rice, cilantro, and kimchi.

Notes

Browning the roast builds rich flavors; don't rush the simmering for better gravy. You can add carrots and potatoes during the last hour of cooking.
