Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the chuck roast into uniform bite-sized pieces, and slice your choice of vegetables. Gather the soy sauce and spices.
  2. For added depth of flavor, sear the beef pieces until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In the slow cooker, add the seared beef, beef broth, and soy sauce. Stir in any spices and ensure beef is submerged.
  4. Set the slow cooker to low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and shreds easily.
  5. Add ramen noodles and sliced vegetables during the last 5-8 minutes of cooking, stirring gently.
  6. If desired, mix cornstarch with water and add to the slow cooker 15 minutes before serving to thicken the broth.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, topping with a soft-boiled or fried egg and garnishing with sesame seeds or cilantro.
