Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Style Pot Roast
  1. Begin by patting the chuck roast dry with paper towels and generously season it with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the roast on each side for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Lower heat and add onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
  4. Add gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar, stirring well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour in beef broth gradually while scraping the bottom of the pot.
  6. Return the seared roast to the pot, surrounding it with chopped carrots.
  7. Cover and transfer the Dutch oven to a preheated oven at 325°F for 3 to 3.5 hours.
  8. Once the roast is tender, skim excess fat and drizzle with sesame oil, garnishing with green onions and cilantro.
  9. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or in lettuce wraps.
