                            Korean-Style Beef Noodles




Ingredients

For the beef and broth

  • 2 lb (about 900 g) beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 4 cups beef broth

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 cup soy sauce

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

  • 1 tsp black pepper

For the noodles & garnish

  • 1 lb (about 450 g) noodles (udon or ramen)

  • 3 green onions, sliced

  • Optional: sesame seeds, cilantro



Instructions

1. Season & Prep the Beef

  • Season the beef pieces lightly with black pepper.

2. Make the Broth

  • In a large bowl, whisk together beef broth, water, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and gochujang until the sugar dissolves.

3. Slow Cook

  • Place seasoned beef in a slow cooker.

  • Pour the broth mixture over the beef.

  • Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours) until the beef is very tender.

4. Cook the Noodles

  • About 15–20 minutes before serving, cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

5. Combine & Serve

  • Add cooked noodles to the slow cooker and gently toss so they soak up some of the broth.

  • Serve in bowls and top with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds or cilantro.



Serving Tips

  • Serve in deep bowls to keep the broth warm.

  • Pair with kimchi or crisp vegetables for contrast.

  • Enjoy with chopsticks and a soup spoon for the best experience.
