Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Beef chuck roast This cut becomes fork-tender in the slow cooker.
  • 4 cups Low-sodium beef broth A good quality broth enriches the flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce Adds a savory umami kick.
  • 1 inch Ginger (minced) A vibrant note that elevates the dish’s aroma.
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced) For that irresistible savory aroma.
  • 4 packs Ramen noodles Classic wheat ramen or other kinds may be used.
  • Green onions (for garnish) Adds freshness and a pop of color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a hot pan, sear it on all sides for 2-3 minutes until browned.
Cooking
  1. Place the seared beef in your slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Stir gently to combine.
  2. Set your slow cooker to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
  3. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, cook your ramen noodles according to the package instructions separately.
  4. Once finished, remove the beef from the slow cooker, shred it using two forks, and return it to the broth.
  5. Ladle the beef broth into bowls, top with ramen noodles, and garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

For even deeper flavor, marinate your beef in soy sauce and ginger the night before. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. To freeze, let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe bags.
