Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs beef chuck roast or stew meat, cut into chunks
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 3–4 bricks of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 2 carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Add beef, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes or sriracha to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
  3. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the carrots and bell pepper.
  4. In the last 10 minutes, add the ramen noodles directly into the slow cooker. Stir and cook until noodles are tender.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Add spinach or bok choy in the final minutes for extra greens.
  • For richer flavor, stir in a splash of sesame oil before serving.
  • Substitute ramen with udon or rice noodles if desired.
  • For best texture when storing, keep noodles separate from broth.
