Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lb beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp oil for browning
  • 1 Medium onion sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce optional
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Tongs
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Forks (for shredding)

Method
 

  1. 1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. 2. In the same pot, sauté onions until softened. Add garlic and ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. 3. Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir and scrape up browned bits.
  4. 4. Return beef to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5–2 hours until fork-tender.
  5. 5. Remove beef, shred using two forks, then return to the broth.
  6. 6. Add ramen noodles and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  7. 7. Serve hot with toppings of choice.

Notes

  • Searing the beef adds deep flavor—don’t skip this step
  • Cook low and slow for tender, fall-apart beef
  • Avoid overcooking noodles to prevent sogginess
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving
  • For best storage, keep noodles separate from broth
