Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 inch Ginger, minced
- 1 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 4 Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound Baby potatoes, halved (optional)
- 1 pound Carrots, cut into chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the roast to the pot and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from pot and set aside.
- Add sliced onion to the same pot and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, gochugaru, and sesame oil until combined.
- Return the roast to the pot and pour the braising sauce over it. Add baby potatoes and carrots if using.
- Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the roast is mostly covered. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to low, and braise for about 3 to 4 hours until fork-tender.
- Remove the roast and vegetables, letting them rest before slicing.
- Serve sliced beef drizzled with braising sauce and garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Searing the beef properly enhances flavor. Always cut against the grain for tender slices.
