Korean Braised Beef

Ingredients

• 3.5 lb Chuck or blade roast (Source gives a range of 3–4 lb; use either chuck or blade roast.)
• 1 Apple (Grated)
• 0.33 cup Gochujang (Source spells this “gojuchang”; start with less if sensitive to spice.)
• 1 Onion (Medium, diced)
• 4 cloves Garlic (Minced)
• 1 inch Ginger (Minced)
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Kimchi (Chopped; optional.)

   Place the beef in a pot.

2. 2

   Add the grated apple, gochujang, diced onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, honey, apple cider vinegar, beef broth, low-sodium soy sauce, and chopped kimchi if using.

3. 3

   Put the pot in the oven and cook for 4 hours. The source does not specify an oven temperature or whether the pot should be covered.

   Shred the cooked beef.
