Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Style Pot Roast

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Prepare your ingredients while the oven heats.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
Remove the roast and sauté sweet onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, and beef broth until well combined.
Return the beef to the skillet, pour the sauce mixture over it, and cover. Bake for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
Allow the pot roast to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serve over rice, garnished with cilantro and kimchi.
