Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef stew meat
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 Carrots, julienned
- 3 Green onions, sliced
- 12 ounces Udon noodles or egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef stew meat for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer the beef to the crock pot.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pour this mixture over the beef in the crock pot.
Add the red bell pepper slices and julienned carrots to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce. Add the sesame oil and mix well.
Carefully add the cooked noodles to the crock pot and stir to coat them in the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
