This Japanese-style braised chuck roast starts with American Wagyu chuck rubbed in white miso, then braises in beef broth with a whole head of garlic for 3½ hours. Bachan’s Japanese BBQ sauce goes in for the final 45 minutes, leaving the beef tender and juicy with a rich, savory flavor. Serve it over white rice with sesame seeds and cilantro for a dinner that feeds six to eight.
Ingredients
- 1 SRF Chuck Roast
- 1 head of garlic, cut in half
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons of beef tallow (or olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons white miso
- ¾ cup Bachans Japanese BBQ sauce
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325° degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the chuck roast into large chunks.
- Rub the beef with white miso. Add all of the ingredients for the spice rub to a bowl and mix well. Coat the beef well with the spice mixture.
- Add beef tallow to a dutch oven or large braising pot. Place the head of garlic into the dutch oven followed by the chunks of beef. Add the beef broth and cover with a lid. Place into the oven for 3 ½ hours.
- Remove the pot from the oven and add the Japanese BBQ sauce. Place the lid back on and bake for another 45 minutes. The meat should be tender and juicy.
- Pair the beef with your favorite toppings. I enjoyed it with white rice, sesame seeds, cilantro, and sauce.
