Method
 

Directions
  1. Season Beef: Sprinkle black pepper generously over your beef chunks to enhance their flavor.
  2. Mix Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and gochujang. Stir until brown sugar dissolves.
  3. Slow Cook Beef: Place seasoned beef into your slow cooker and pour sauce mixture over it. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  4. Cook Noodles: About 15-20 minutes before serving, prepare noodles according to package instructions, then drain well.
  5. Combine & Serve: Once beef is tender, stir in cooked noodles and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro.
