Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Gather your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Remove the beef and add chopped sweet onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, and beef broth. Pour this mixture into the pot and stir to combine.
  5. Return the beef to the pot, cover with a lid, and bake in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  6. Carefully remove from the oven, shred the beef, and mix it back into the sauce. Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro and kimchi.
