  3. Add matchstick carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped scallions to the slow cooker and stir gently to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken stock. Whisk until blended, then pour over the beef and vegetables.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, add the ramen noodles to the slow cooker and stir to submerge in the broth.
  7. After the noodles are tender, give everything a final stir, ladle into bowls, and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
