Tender beef, flavorful broth, and ramen noodles come together in this cozy slow cooker meal. It’s an easy, hands-off dinner packed with comfort and rich umami flavor.

Ingredients

1.5 to 2 lbs beef chuck roast or stew meat

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing, optional)

4 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground)

2 packages instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup baby spinach or bok choy (optional)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

(Optional) Sear the Beef: Season beef with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear on all sides until browned. This adds flavor, but you can skip for convenience.

Add to Slow Cooker: Place beef in the slow cooker. Add beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir to combine.

Cook: Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until beef is tender and easily shredded.

Shred Beef: Remove beef, shred with forks, then return to the slow cooker.

Add Noodles and Veggies: Break ramen noodles in half and stir them into the broth along with carrots and spinach (if using). Cover and cook on high for 5–10 minutes until noodles are tender.

Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Add chili garlic sauce or sriracha for a spicy kick.

Swap carrots with bell peppers or mushrooms if preferred.

Use rice noodles or udon for a variation.

Leftovers thicken as they sit — add extra broth when reheating.
