Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add your beef chuck roast cut into chunks, searing them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a rich brown crust forms.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the pot, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in ½ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons gochujang, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 cup beef broth.
- Cover the Dutch oven with its lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer for about 3 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, stir in the cornstarch mixture.
- Once the beef is perfectly tender, use tongs to shred it directly in the pot. Serve garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
