Japanese BBQ Chuck Roast

Ingredients

  • About 2 lbs chuck roast, cut into 4 sections
  • 1 tbsp beef tallow
  • 1 cup beef bone broth, beef stock, or water (add an extra 1/4 cup for a larger roast)
  • 1/3 cup Bachan's Japanese BBQ Sauce
  • Sliced scallions, to garnish
  • Sesame seeds, to garnish
  • Steamed jasmine rice, to serve

Rub

  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes
  • A pinch of sesame seeds

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Mix the rub ingredients together and rub generously over all sides of the chuck roast pieces.
  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat with the beef tallow. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until deeply browned.
  • Add the broth (or stock/water), cover, and transfer to the oven for about 2 hours (closer to 3 for a larger roast), until fork-tender. Don't overcook or the meat turns tough.
  • Remove the lid, pour the Bachan's sauce over the meat, and shred it directly in the Dutch oven, mixing so the residual heat caramelizes and coats every piece.
  • Meanwhile, prepare steamed jasmine rice.
  • Serve the beef over rice, spoon the extra sauce from the pot over the top, and finish with scallions and sesame seeds.
