Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Beef Noodles

Start by cutting beef chuck into bite-sized chunks and seasoning them generously with black pepper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and gochujang.
Place the seasoned beef chunks into your slow cooker and pour the prepared sauce over the beef.
Cover your slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
About 15-20 minutes before you’re ready to serve, prepare the noodles according to the package instructions.
Once the beef is tender, add the cooked noodles into the slow cooker and stir gently to combine.
Ladle the Korean Beef Noodles into bowls, ensuring an even distribution of beef and noodles.
