Ingredients

Scale

Here are the ingredients needed to make Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles:

  • 1 lb beef chuck roast or stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
  • 4 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • 1 soft-boiled egg per bowl (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Slow Cooker:

  1. Add the Beef: Place the beef chuck roast or stew meat into the slow cooker.
  2. Add the Broth and Seasonings: Pour the beef broth over the meat and add soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
  3. Add Optional Vegetables: If you’re using mushrooms or spinach, add them to the slow cooker as well. These vegetables will soften and infuse the broth with extra flavor.
  4. Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 7 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Prepare the Noodles:

  1. Cook the Ramen Noodles: About 15 minutes before serving, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, but be sure to discard the seasoning packets.
  2. Drain and Set Aside: Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.

Assemble and Serve:

  1. Shred the Beef: After 7 hours of cooking, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  2. Combine the Beef with the Broth: Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the broth.
  3. Serve the Noodles: Place a portion of cooked ramen noodles into each bowl.
  4. Ladle the Beef and Broth: Spoon the shredded beef and broth over the noodles in each bowl.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions, a soft-boiled egg, and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
