Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds (907 g) chuck roast cubed

For the sauce

  • ¾ cup (177 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup (59 ml) water
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons gochujang sauce

For the rest of the dish

  • 2 cups rotini pasta
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • Chopped scallions for topping

Instructions

  • Place the cubed chuck roast into the insert of a pressure cooker.
    2 pounds chuck roast
  • Whisk together the ingredients for the sauce in a measuring cup or bowl then pour over the beef.
    3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 2 cloves garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons gochujang sauce
  • Close the lid of the pressure cooker then set to manual setting then high pressure and 35 minute cook time.
  • In the meantime, cook your pasta.
    2 cups rotini pasta
  • Once pressure cooker is done cooking, quick release the pressure.
  • Remove the beef and place on a large cutting board and roughly shred it with a fork. Set aside.
  • Press the sauté button on the pressure cooker (if you don't have that option, you can pour the sauce into a pot and bring it to the stove) then once the sauce is simmering, whisk together the arrowroot powder and water then pour it into the pressure cooker. It should start thickening immediately. If it doesn't, you can make more of the arrowroot powder/water mixture.
    2 tablespoons arrowroot powder, 2 teaspoons water
  • Add the beef back in and toss to coat with the sauce.
  • Alternatively, you can add the pasta in too to toss or you can spoon the ragu over top of the pasta.
  • Sprinkle chopped scallions on top and serve!
