Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 pounds Chuck Roast
- 3 tablespoons White Miso Paste
- 3-inch piece Fresh Ginger, sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups Beef Broth
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 2 Scallions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F or set your slow cooker to low.
- In a bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, beef broth, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and sesame oil.
- Heat a bit of oil in your Dutch oven and sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned.
- Pour the miso mixture over the roast and add sliced ginger to the pot.
- Cover and cook for 3.5 to 4 hours in the oven, or 7–8 hours in a slow cooker, until fork-tender.
- Remove ginger slices, adjust seasoning if needed, and let the meat rest before slicing or shredding.
- Serve over rice and garnish with chopped scallions.
Notes
- Use white or yellow miso for a milder flavor profile.
- Resting the meat before slicing helps it stay juicy and tender.
- Add a splash of vinegar or lime for extra brightness before serving.
