Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 1.5 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 3 cups water

Flavorings

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Noodles and Vegetables

  • 2 packs fresh ramen noodles (or egg noodles)
  • 1 cup baby spinach

Garnish and Optional

  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Soft-boiled eggs (optional, for serving)
  • Sriracha or chili oil (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Season the beef chuck chunks generously with salt and pepper to enhance the meat’s natural flavors before cooking.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Place the beef chunks into the slow cooker. Add the sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger evenly over the beef.
  3. Add Liquid: Pour in the beef broth and water, then add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without disturbing the beef layering too much.
  4. Set Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and flavorful.
  5. Cook Beef: After cooking, check that the beef is tender and can be shredded easily with a fork. This ensures it is perfectly cooked for ramen.
  6. Prepare Noodles: About 10 minutes before serving, cook the ramen noodles in boiling water according to the package instructions until tender, then drain.
  7. Add Vegetables: Stir the baby spinach into the slow cooker broth shortly before serving, letting it wilt gently in the hot liquid.
  8. Serve: Place the cooked noodles in bowls, then ladle the slow cooker beef and broth over the noodles to create a hearty soup.
  9. Garnish: Top each bowl with sliced green onions, optional soft-boiled eggs, and drizzle with Sriracha or chili oil to add a spicy kick if desired.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, sear the beef chunks in a hot pan before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Fresh ramen noodles work best for texture, but egg noodles make a great substitute.
  • The broth can be adjusted in saltiness by modifying the amount of soy sauce to taste.
  • Soft-boiled eggs add protein and creaminess, but the dish is delicious without them as well.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
