Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack in the lower third. Pat the chuck roast dry and season both sides with kosher salt.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chuck roast on all sides for about 10 minutes, creating a rich crust.
  3. Remove the roast and sauté sweet onions in the same pot for about 4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté 1 more minute.
  4. Deglaze the pot with 1/4 cup of beef stock, scraping up browned bits for extra flavor.
  5. Stir in gochujang, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
  6. Return the chuck roast to the pot and pour in the remaining beef stock. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  7. Cover with a lid and braise in the oven for 2 hours, checking for tenderness.
  8. Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with rice, cilantro, and kimchi.
