A comforting and flavorful Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles recipe featuring tender beef chuck roast simmered in a rich broth with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, served over fresh ramen noodles with baby spinach and garnished with green onions and optional soft-boiled eggs.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 1.5 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 3 cups water

Aromatics and Seasonings

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Noodles and Vegetables

  • 2 packs fresh ramen noodles (or egg noodles)
  • 1 cup baby spinach

Garnishes and Optional

  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Soft-boiled eggs (optional, for serving)
  • Sriracha or chili oil (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Season the beef chuck chunks generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor before cooking.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Place the seasoned beef chunks at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger on top of the beef to build the base flavors.
  3. Add Liquid: Pour in the beef broth and water, then add soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients evenly without disturbing the beef’s placement.
  4. Set Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours to allow the beef to become tender and infused with flavors.
  5. Cook the Beef: Let the beef cook fully until it is tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
  6. Prepare Noodles: About 10 minutes before serving, cook the ramen noodles separately according to the package instructions to ensure the best texture.
  7. Add Vegetables: Stir the baby spinach into the slow cooker just before serving to let it wilt slightly without overcooking.
  8. Serve: Place the cooked noodles in deep bowls and ladle the beef chunks and rich broth over them for a hearty meal.
  9. Garnish: Top with sliced green onions, and optionally add soft-boiled eggs and drizzle with Sriracha or chili oil for extra flavor and heat.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for the most vibrant flavors in the broth.
  • Taste and adjust the soy sauce or sesame oil to your preference during cooking.
  • Consider adding miso paste for extra depth in the broth if desired.
  • Experiment with garnishes such as sesame seeds, cilantro, or chili flakes to enhance the dish.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari and gluten-free noodles.
  • Store leftovers separately for broth and noodles to maintain texture when reheating.
