Description

This Savory Korean Gochujang Pot Roast brings a deliciously bold twist to a comforting classic. Slow-cooked until perfectly tender, the beef is infused with a rich gochujang glaze that’s spicy, slightly sweet, and deeply flavorful. With tender potatoes and carrots soaking up every drop of the sauce, this dish is the ultimate cozy meal that’s as impressive as it is easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef roast with salt and pepper, then sear for 4–5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add sliced onion and minced garlic to the pot; sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Pour the mixture into the pot, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Return the roast to the pot and arrange the chopped carrots and halved baby potatoes around it.
  6. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3–4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  7. Remove from the oven, let it rest for 10–15 minutes, then slice and serve with the flavorful sauce.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra depth, use low-sodium soy sauce and adjust seasoning after cooking.
  • You can substitute gochujang with a mix of chili paste and honey for a milder kick.
  • The sauce thickens beautifully if you let it rest slightly before serving.
