A comforting and easy Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles recipe that combines tender beef simmered to perfection with flavorful broth and tender ramen noodles. This one-pot meal makes for a hearty dinner with minimal effort using a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 1.5 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Noodles

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

Optional Garnishes

  • Sliced green onions
  • Soft boiled eggs
  • Sesame seeds
  • Chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: Place the beef chunks into the slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix together beef broth, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the beef.
  2. Cook the beef: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is very tender and easily shredded.
  3. Shred the beef: Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-sized pieces directly in the slow cooker, mixing it well into the broth.
  4. Add the ramen noodles: Break the ramen noodles into halves or thirds and add them to the slow cooker. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on high until noodles are tender but not mushy.
  5. Serve and garnish: Ladle beef ramen soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, soft boiled eggs, sesame seeds, and chili flakes if desired for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not add noodles at the beginning to prevent them from becoming too soft and mushy.
  • If preferred, substitute beef chuck with brisket or stew beef.
  • Use reduced sodium soy sauce to control salt level.
  • Feel free to add vegetables such as mushrooms, bok choy, or carrots during the last hour of cooking for added nutrition.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on stovetop.
