Description

A delicious and spicy Korean ramen dish topped with grilled beef and a creamy sauce, perfect for noodle lovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 300g ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
  • 2 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise (Kewpie preferred)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or Korean chili sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of sugar (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp toasted black sesame seeds
  • Optional: extra chili oil or gochugaru

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and pepper. Add beef and marinate for 30 minutes (or overnight).
  2. In another small bowl, mix all creamy sauce ingredients until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
  3. In a pot, simmer broth. Add gochugaru, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Cook ramen noodles until al dente (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat.
  4. Heat grill pan or skillet over high heat. Sear beef 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized. Let rest, then slice against the grain.
  5. Assemble bowls: add noodles and broth, top with creamy sauce, grilled beef, green onions, sesame seeds, and extra spice if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, adjust the amount of gochugaru or sriracha.
  • You can substitute beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
  • This dish is best served immediately after preparation for optimal texture.
