Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 lbs chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 large carrots, cut into chunks
  • 3-4 pieces potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup beef broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some sesame oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Generously season your chuck roast with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the roast to the pot and sear on all sides until it’s beautifully browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Mixing Sauce
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Combine Everything
  1. Remove the roast from the pot and place it on a large plate.
  2. Toss in the chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes into the pot.
  3. Place the chuck roast back into the pot and pour the gochujang mixture over everything.
  4. Add the beef broth for extra moisture.
Cooking
  1. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Finishing
  1. Once done, take the pot roast out of the oven and let it rest for a bit.
  2. Slice it and serve it up with the veggies, drizzling any extra sauce over the top.
  3. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

You can substitute sriracha or another chili paste for gochujang. This dish tastes better the next day, perfect for leftovers. Consider adding other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
