Ingredients

Beef and Broth

  • 1 pound ground beef, browned and drained
  • 32 oz beef stock
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2-3 teaspoons sriracha
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables and Noodles

  • 1 small head broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 2 (3 oz) instant ramen noodles packages
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Garnish

  • Additional green onion, chopped
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth base. In the slow cooker, whisk together beef stock, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and minced garlic until fully combined to create a flavorful broth.
  2. Add main ingredients. Add the browned and drained ground beef, chopped broccoli, thinly sliced carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions to the slow cooker and stir gently to incorporate.
  3. Slow cook the mixture. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 4 to 5 hours, allowing the beef and vegetables to soften and absorb the flavors of the broth.
  4. Add ramen noodles and sesame oil. About 15 minutes before serving, add the instant ramen noodles and sesame oil to the slow cooker. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes until the noodles begin to soften.
  5. Finish cooking. Stir the noodles once they have softened and continue cooking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the noodles are fully cooked and the dish is hot throughout.
  6. Serve. Ladle the beef ramen into bowls and garnish with additional chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preferred spice level.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the soy sauce with tamari and use gluten-free ramen noodles.
  • If you prefer a thicker broth, let the mixture cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
  • Feel free to swap in other vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms to customize.
  • To save time, the ground beef can be browned and drained ahead of cooking day.
