Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chuck Roast by patting it dry with paper towels, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the Roast in a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until deep brown.
  3. Sauté Aromatics by reducing heat to medium and adding chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger; sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Combine Sauces and Sweetness by stirring in gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add Beef Broth while scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pot, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Roast with Vegetables by returning the seared roast to the pot, placing carrots around it, and covering tightly.
  7. Braise in the Oven at 325°F (163°C) for 3 to 3.5 hours or until fork-tender.
  8. Finishing Touches involve skimming excess fat, drizzling with sesame oil, and garnishing with green onions and cilantro.
  9. Serve with Delights by slicing or shredding the roast and serving it hot with steamed rice or mashed potatoes.
