Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Korean Beef Noodles
  1. Begin by cutting the beef chuck into 1-2 inch pieces and season them generously with black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef pieces for a few minutes until browned on all sides for extra depth.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and gochujang. Whisk together until sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Place the seasoned beef chunks into the slow cooker and pour the prepared sauce over the beef, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  5. About 15 to 20 minutes before serving, prepare the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  6. Once the beef is tender, gently add the drained noodles to the slow cooker and stir everything together.
  7. Ladle the mixture into individual bowls, garnishing with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh garlic and ginger; sear beef for enhanced flavor; adjust broth thickness with water as needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with water to prevent drying out.
