Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 2 pounds Beef Chuck Roast Substitute with grass-fed beef for a richer flavor.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Can be swapped with olive oil.
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion Shallots can be used for a milder taste.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Use garlic powder (1/4 teaspoon per clove) if in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger Ground ginger (1/2 teaspoon per tablespoon) works as a substitute.
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (Low Sodium) Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Beef Broth Chicken broth can be a substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Reduce the amount for less sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional, adjust according to taste.
For Thickening
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Arrowroot powder can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Cold Water

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the beef chuck roast cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned beef cubes for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Remove the beef and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add one chopped yellow onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute.
  5. Return the beef to the pot. Pour in 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 cup of beef broth, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar.
  6. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and braise for 2-3 hours.
  7. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water. Pour this slurry into the pot while stirring.
  8. Simmer uncovered for about 5-10 minutes, until the glaze thickens.
  9. Remove from heat and let rest. Serve garnished with green onions or sesame seeds.
