Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Beef Chuck Consider using boneless beef short ribs for richer flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Use freshly ground for best results.
  • 4 cups Beef Broth Store-bought or homemade works beautifully.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Swap with tamari for gluten-free.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Honey can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger (minced) Fresh recommended, but ground is a good substitute.
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced) Always use fresh for best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Can substitute with olive oil, but taste will change.
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste) Reduce for less spice, or use red pepper flakes.

  • 2 stalks Green Onions (sliced) For garnishing.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds Optional garnish.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro Optional for garnish.

Method
 

  1. Cut beef chuck into bite-sized pieces and season with black pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and gochujang. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
