Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 1 pound Beef Chuck A tender cut that breaks down beautifully in slow cooking; brisket makes a great substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly cracked for best flavor enhancement.
For the Broth
  • 4 cups Beef Broth Opt for low-sodium to control saltiness.
  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce Can be swapped with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Balances the saltiness of soy sauce; honey or maple syrup can be used instead.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger (minced) Fresh ginger offers the best taste.
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced) Enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Adds rich, nutty notes; substitute with vegetable oil if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang Adjust amount based on spice preference.
For the Noodles & Toppings
  • 8 ounces Noodles Use fresh or dried udon or ramen.
  • 2 stalks Green Onions Slice thinly for garnish.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the beef chuck into uniform chunks, about 1 to 2 inches. Season with black pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and gochujang. Stir until brown sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add the seasoned beef to the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over it, covering all pieces.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until beef is tender.
  5. Cook noodles according to package instructions about 15-20 minutes before serving.
  6. Once beef is tender, mix in the cooked noodles, allowing them to soak in the broth for a few minutes.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro.

Notes

Allow the beef to marinate in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before slow cooking for more robust flavors. Cook noodles just before serving to prevent sogginess.
