Miso & Ginger Chuck Roast

Ingredients

• 3 lb beef chuck roast (cut into thirds)
• 0.333 cup low sodium tamari
• 2 tbsp miso
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1.333 tbsp rice wine vinegar (1 tbsp plus 1 tsp)
• 3 garlic (cloves, minced or grated)
• 3 tbsp fresh ginger (about 3 inches, finely grated)
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 cup beef bone broth (only if using a Dutch oven or roasting pan with foil; omit if using a covered roasting pan)
• green onion (for garnish)
• sesame seeds (for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the tamari, miso, honey, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk well until the marinade is thoroughly combined.

3. 3

   Place the beef chuck roast pieces in a bowl or dish, pour the marinade over the meat, and toss to ensure every piece is evenly coated.

4. 4

   Transfer the meat to your roasting dish. If using a Dutch oven or a roasting pan that will be covered with aluminum foil, add 1 cup of beef bone broth to the pot now. If using a roasting pan with its own tight-fitting cover, the broth can be omitted.

5. 5

   Cover the dish tightly and roast in the oven for 3 hours.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven and check for doneness. If the meat pulls apart easily with a fork, shred it into large chunks and toss them in the accumulated juices. If it is not yet tender, return it to the oven covered for an additional 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Once the meat is shredded and tender, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).

8. 8

   Return the shredded meat to the oven, uncovered, and cook for 15 minutes longer until the top layer is crispy and caramelized.

9. 9

   Garnish the finished roast with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

If you prefer a lot of sauce, consider doubling the marinade ingredients as the juices reduce significantly during roasting. This recipe is naturally gluten-free (using tamari) and dairy-free.
