  1. Heat sesame oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until browned.
  3. Remove the roast and set aside.
  4. In the same pot, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened.
  5. Return the roast to the pot, add gochujang, soy sauce, beef broth, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat, then braise for 3 to 4 hours.
