Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Generously season the chuck roast pieces with kosher salt on all sides and let sit for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and brown the seasoned chuck roast pieces for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  3. Add sliced sweet onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in gochujang paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce, then gradually add beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pot.
  5. Return browned roast pieces to the pot, ensure they are submerged in the sauce, cover, and cook in a preheated oven at 325°F for 2 hours.
  6. Check occasionally to ensure the sauce remains saucy and not over-reduced while cooking.
  7. After removing from oven, let the dish rest for about 10 minutes and serve family-style with steamed rice and kimchi.
