Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Style Pot Roast

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • In a large oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the roast and set it aside.
  • In the same pot, add the sliced onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, gochujang, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Stir well.
  • Return the beef chuck roast to the pot, add carrots, potatoes, and shiitake mushrooms around the roast.
  • Cover the pot and roast in the oven for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
  • Carefully transfer the beef to a serving platter and arrange vegetables around it.
  • Spoon the sauce over the beef and vegetables, then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
