Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Marinade
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
Vegetables and Broth
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to prepare for slow roasting the beef.
- Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the flavorful sauce.
- Coat Beef: Place the beef chuck roast in a roasting pan and generously cover it with the prepared sauce mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides.
- Add Vegetables: Scatter the sliced onions and chopped carrots around the roast in the pan to cook alongside the meat and infuse additional flavor.
- Pour Broth: Pour 2 cups of beef broth into the pan, which will help keep the roast moist and create a delicious cooking liquid.
- Cover and Roast: Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Rest Roast: Remove the pan from the oven and let the roast rest, covered, for 15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve: Slice the roast and serve it hot, garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- Use a well-marbled beef chuck roast for the best tenderness and flavor.
- Adjust the brown sugar based on your preferred sweetness level.
- For added depth, consider searing the roast in a hot skillet before roasting.
- Leftover meat and sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Pair with steamed rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
