Ingredients
  

Beef
  • 3 lb beef chuck roast trimmed
  • 1 tsp salt sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper cracked
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil for searing
Braising Liquid
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 0.25 cup beef bone broth unsalted
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil toasted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger fresh grated
  • 2 tbsp gochujang Korean chili paste
Garnish
  • 2 stalks green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds toasted

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker Or Dutch Oven
  • Small mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • tongs
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Preparation and Searing
  1. Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the meat until a deep brown crust forms on all sides.
  3. Transfer the seared roast into the base of your slow cooker.
Slow Cooking
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and gochujang.
  2. Pour the braising liquid over the beef, ensuring the roast is well-coated.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
  4. Shred the beef into large chunks using two forks and let it rest in the juices for 10 minutes before serving with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For the best texture, always cook on the low setting rather than high to allow the connective tissue in the chuck roast to fully break down. Leftovers make incredible tacos or sliders the next day.
