Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 grill pan or outdoor grill
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 slotted spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 4 servings instant ramen noodles
  • 1 lb beef (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons gochujang (Korean chili paste) For extra spice, feel free to add more gochujang.
  • 1 tablespoon clean-sugar or honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper To taste
  • 2 boiled eggs, halved Optional For serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine sliced beef, soy sauce, gochujang, sugar, and sesame oil. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  • While the beef is marinating, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Grill the marinated beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest.
  • In the same pot, add the beef broth and rice vinegar, and bring to a simmer. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the broth, then add the heavy cream, mixing well until fully combined.
  • Add the cooked ramen noodles to the pot, gently mixing to coat them in the creamy sauce.
  • Serve the ramen in bowls, topped with grilled beef, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds. Add a halved boiled egg on top, if desired.
