Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1.5 lbs beef chuck roast, thinly sliced or cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
Noodles
- 8 oz noodles (such as egg noodles, udon, or ramen)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Place the thinly sliced beef into the slow cooker. Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top.
- Cook the Beef: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Cook the Noodles: About 15 minutes before serving, cook the noodles separately according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Combine and Serve: Stir the cooked noodles into the slow cooker to mix with the beef and sauce, or serve the beef over the noodles. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Thinly slicing the beef ensures it cooks evenly and absorbs more flavor.
- You can add garlic, ginger, or green onions to enhance the flavor profile.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the beef once cooked and simmer the sauce in a pan to reduce before adding noodles.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles to make this recipe gluten-free.
