Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 pounds Beef Chuck Roast, cut into larger chunks
  • Low-sodium Beef Broth
  • Fresh Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Soy Sauce
  • Non-Alcoholic Mirin Alternative or 1 tablespoon rice vinegar mixed with 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Toasted Sesame Oil
  • Dried Ramen Noodles (without seasoning packet) or Fresh Ramen Noodles
  • Soft-boiled eggs (optional)
  • Thinly sliced green onions
  • Sheets of nori (dried seaweed)
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Chili oil (optional)
  • Sautéed bok choy or sliced mushrooms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper. Optionally, sear the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil until deeply browned on all sides. Transfer the beef to your slow cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, add a tiny bit more oil if needed. Sauté the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour the sautéed garlic and ginger over the seared beef in the slow cooker. Add the low-sodium beef broth, soy sauce, and non-alcoholic mirin alternative (or rice vinegar and sugar mixture). Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is incredibly tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. Once the beef is fork-tender, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Shred the beef into bite-sized pieces and return it to the slow cooker. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. About 10-15 minutes before serving, cook the ramen noodles according to package directions in a separate pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain well.
  7. Divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot beef and broth mixture over the noodles and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
