Instructions
Creating a delicious Korean Style Pot Roast can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Roast: Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Meat: Add the roast to the pot and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set it aside.
4. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add sliced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and gochujang. Stir until well-mixed.
6. Deglaze the Pot: Pour the sauce mixture into the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
7. Return the Roast: Place the seared roast back into the pot, then add beef broth, carrots, and celery.
8. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
9. Cook: Allow the roast to cook for about 2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
10. Rest the Meat: Once cooked, remove the roast from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
11. Serve with Sauce: Slice the roast and serve with a generous spoonful of the sauce and vegetables.
