Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large, oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Remove the beef and sauté the diced sweet onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, and beef broth. Whisk until smooth and pour over the sautéed aromatics.
  5. Return the beef to the pot, cover, and bake for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
  6. Let the pot roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve over cooked rice and garnish with cilantro and kimchi.
