- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
- Place the beef chuck roast pieces into your slow cooker.

- Add the white parts of the green onions to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, add the julienned carrots and red bell pepper to the slow cooker. Stir gently.
- Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles separately according to the package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes in boiling water, then drain.
- Once the vegetables are tender and the meat is cooked, stir in the cooked ramen noodles.
- Serve the beef ramen hot, garnished with the green parts of the onions, sesame seeds, and fresh herbs.
Notes
For extra heat, add more chili flakes or a dash of sriracha. If you prefer a milder flavor, skip the chili flakes altogether.
