Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  3. Remove the roast and sauté diced sweet onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in gochujang, brown sugar, and soy sauce, simmer for 2 minutes, then add beef broth and scrape browned bits from the pot.
  5. Return the roast to the pot, cover, and bake for 2–3 hours until fork-tender, adding more broth if necessary.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes covered before slicing and serving.
