Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast, sliced into strips
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
- 3 packs ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the beef strips, soy sauce, beef broth, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger into your slow cooker. Stir well to coat the beef.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until beef is tender.
- Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on HIGH for another 10 minutes to thicken.

- Stir everything together, then serve in bowls topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
