How to Make Korean Style Pot Roast (Overview)

Making this dish is as easy as pie (or should I say, easy as pot roast?). Here’s the lowdown:

• Start by searing your roast; trust me, that caramelization adds flavor!
• Combine all the saucy goodness in a bowl—don’t forget to taste (just a little!).
• Add your veggies to the pot before sealing it up for a long, cozy cook in the oven.

Pro tip? Don’t skip the resting time after you take it out. It allows the juices to redistribute, making for the tenderest slices.
