Equipment

  • Pressure cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chuck Roast (stew meat)
  • 1/2 yellow onion sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger root finely grated
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Gochujang Sauce
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • green onions and sesame seeds to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Marinade for 30 mins to 1 hr.
  • Once you are ready to cook, pour the ingredients into the pressure cooker. Turn the pressure cooker on the meat function and cook for 40 minutes.
  • Once it is ready, let the pressure cooker vent naturally and serve.

Notes

  • The flavors in this recipe are mild compared to authentic Korean food, so if you like it hot, add more Gochujang sauce.
  • This recipe gets even tastier the day after you make it. The juices have more time to combine with the meat and develop the flavor. That is why I also like to marinade the ingredients for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • I made this recipe using beef stew, but you can also use ground meat.
