Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the beef chunks generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the beef until browned on all sides.
  3. Remove beef and add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot; sauté until onions are soft.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and sesame oil. Pour over the sautéed mixture.
  5. Return beef to the pot and cover with water or broth until just submerged. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 2-3 hours until tender.
  6. Remove beef from the pot and let rest. Simmer remaining liquid on high heat until reduced by half for a sticky glaze.
  7. Drizzle glaze over beef before serving and garnish with sliced green onions.
