Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Gather ingredients and equipment.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast for about 3-4 minutes until golden-brown.
  3. Remove the beef and in the same skillet, sauté a chopped sweet onion, minced garlic cloves, and freshly grated ginger for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, and beef broth. Stir until smooth.
  5. Transfer the browned beef back into the roasting pan, pour the sauce over it, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for about 3 to 4 hours.
  6. Once done, let the beef rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve over cooked rice, garnished with cilantro and kimchi.
