Cooking Steps
  1. Prepare the meat by cutting the chuck roast into 3-inch pieces and season with kosher salt. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil and brown the roast pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  3. Remove the roast and sauté sweet onion, garlic, and ginger until softened.
  4. Mix gochujang, brown sugar, and soy sauce into the aromatics and let meld for 2 minutes.
  5. Add beef stock to the pot and return the roast, covering it tightly.
  6. Cook in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 2 hours until fork-tender.
  7. Let the pot roast rest for 10 minutes before serving it family-style over rice with cilantro and kimchi.

Allowing the roast to rest before serving enhances flavor and moisture retention. Store leftovers for up to 3-4 days in airtight containers.
