Description

A savory and spicy slow cooked gochujang beef dish that is perfect for serving over rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chuck roast
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish
  • Cooked white rice or jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat chuck roast dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven and sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Deglaze with beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, vinegar, mirin, and pepper. Simmer gently.
  4. Return beef to pot with chopped carrots. Spoon sauce over it and cover with lid.
  5. Bake at 300°F (or slow cook on low) for 3 to 4 hours (or 6–8 hours in slow cooker) until beef is fall-apart tender.
  6. Remove beef, shred it, then reduce sauce by simmering if needed. Return shredded beef to sauce and mix.
  7. Serve over hot rice, garnish with sesame seeds and herbs.
