  • Add the kochujang sauce, increase heat to medium high and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chuck roast. Bring to a low simmer, cover and slow cook until meat is very tender, stirring occasionally, about 3 hours.
  • Remove meat from the pot and onto a cutting board. Use a fork and knife to shred and pull apart the beef. Set aside.

  • Raise the heat to medium high and bring the tomato kochujang sauce to a high simmer, uncovered. Reduce the sauce until thick, about 15-20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the shredded meat back in the pot and stir until thoroughly combined and warmed through.
  • Serve on buns and enjoy!
