  • Knife

Method
 

Preparation and Searing
  1. Season the chuck roast generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef 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 soy sauce, bone broth, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  2. Scatter the sliced onions over the beef in the slow cooker, then pour the braising sauce over everything.
  3. Cover and cook on Low for 8–10 hours or on High for 5–6 hours until the meat is completely tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  4. Remove the roast to a platter, shred into large chunks, and drizzle with the remaining pot juices before topping with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For the best texture, always cook on the low setting to allow the connective tissue in the chuck roast to break down fully. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days; the flavors actually improve the next day!
