Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Roasting

  • 3 to 4 pounds Beef chuck roast ideal for shredding once tender
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil used for searing to lock in juices

For the Aroma

  • 1 large Onion sliced for a sweet, fragrant base
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced to enhance the savory depth

For the Broth

  • 3 cups Beef broth providing a rich liquid base for flavor
  • ½ cup Soy sauce adding umami and saltiness
  • ¼ cup Brown sugar to balance the savory with a hint of sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar for a touch of acidity to brighten flavors
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste) infusing a delightful kick of spice
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil contributing a nutty aroma
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger bringing warmth and depth to the dish

For the Veggies

  • 3 to 4 medium Carrots cut into chunks for sweetness and texture
  • 4 to 5 Potatoes peeled and quartered to soak up flavors
  • 8 to 10 Shiitake mushrooms sliced for an earthy touch

For the Topping

  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds adding a crunchy garnish

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • In a large oven-safe pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté sliced onion and minced garlic in the same pot until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, gochujang, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  • Return the seared beef to the pot, ensuring it's mostly submerged in the sauce. Add more broth if necessary.
  • Add carrots, potatoes, and shiitake mushrooms around the roast.
  • Cover and roast in the oven for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  • Remove the pot from the oven, transfer the beef to a serving platter and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Ladle the sauce over the beef and vegetables; serve garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Sear the beef for a richer flavor, and ensure liquid covers most of the meat while roasting. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
