Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Gather your ingredients and ready your heavy pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in your pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until brown.
  3. Sauté onion and garlic in the same pot for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  4. Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, gochujang, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Stir and let simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Return the seared chuck roast back into the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the broth.
  6. Arrange chopped carrots, potatoes, and shiitake mushrooms around the roast.
  7. Cover the pot with a lid and roast in the oven for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.
  8. Remove the pot from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes, then plate the beef and vegetables, garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
