Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Style Pot Roast
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and season the beef with kosher salt. Sear for 5-7 minutes on each side.
  3. Remove the beef and add sweet onions, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
  4. In a bowl, combine gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, and beef broth. Stir well until sugar dissolves.
  5. Transfer the beef to a roasting dish and pour the sauce over it. Cover and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until fork-tender.
  6. Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes, then slice and serve over rice, garnished with cilantro and kimchi.
