Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into large chunks
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • Optional: smoked turkey slices for protein swap

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 3 fresh carrots, sliced
  • 2 baby bok choy, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

Liquids and Sauces

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Other Ingredients

  • 8 oz ramen noodles
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent (optional, for thickening broth)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef and Aromatics: Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into large chunks. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger to release their fragrant oils, which will infuse the broth throughout the slow cooking process.
  2. Layer Ingredients in Crockpot: Place the beef chunks at the bottom of the crockpot. Add sliced carrots, chopped baby bok choy, and smoked turkey bacon on top. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger evenly over the ingredients.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Set the crockpot to low for 7 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours. The slow cooking will tenderize the beef and allow all ingredients to meld and harmonize beautifully.
  4. Add Noodles and Adjust Seasoning: About 30 minutes before serving, add the ramen noodles directly into the crockpot to cook. Taste the broth and if desired, stir in the natural gelling agent gently to thicken the broth for a richer mouthfeel.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Serve each bowl topped with freshly chopped green onions. Enjoy your warm, comforting Crockpot Beef Ramen with Veggies.

Notes

  • Browning the beef in a hot pan before slow cooking can lock in additional flavor.
  • Do not overcook the noodles; adding them in the last 30 minutes keeps them tender yet firm.
  • Layer sauces and aromatics early so the beef absorbs all savory flavors deeply.
  • Use fresh carrots and baby bok choy to maintain vibrant color and crisp texture.
  • Use the natural gelling agent sparingly to adjust broth thickness without heaviness.
