Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sliced onions until well combined.
- Sear the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Sear on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Slow Cook: Transfer the seared beef into your slow cooker. Pour the marinade over it and add enough water to just cover the meat. Set to low heat for about 6 hours or high heat for about 3 hours.
- Cook Your Noodles: About 30 minutes before serving, cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
- Shred the Beef: Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return shredded beef to the pot along with any remaining juices; stir to combine.
- Serve Up: Spoon generous helpings into bowls and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired!
