# Recipe Steps:
01 - Generously season beef chunks with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
02 - Place seasoned beef in the slow cooker. Layer sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger evenly over the meat.
03 - Pour in beef broth and water. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Stir gently to distribute the seasonings.
04 - Cover and cook on low setting for 8 hours or high setting for 4 hours, until beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
05 - About 10 minutes before serving, cook ramen noodles according to package directions in a separate pot. Drain well and set aside.
06 - Remove lid and use two forks to gently shred the beef directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the cooking liquid.
07 - Stir in baby spinach and let it wilt for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
08 - Divide cooked noodles between serving bowls. Ladle generous portions of shredded beef and broth over the noodles.
09 - Top with sliced green onions and halved soft-boiled eggs if using. Drizzle with Sriracha or chili oil for added heat. Serve immediately while hot.
