Ingredients

Scale

Beef Marinade

  • 300g ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Broth & Noodles

  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
  • 2 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt to taste

Creamy Sauce

  • 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)

Garnishes

  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp toasted black sesame seeds
  • Optional: extra chili oil or gochugaru for added spice

Instructions

  1. Marinate Beef: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Add the ribeye or sirloin steak and coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Prepare Creamy Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic powder, and an optional pinch of sugar until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve to let the flavors meld.
  3. Cook Broth and Noodles: In a pot, bring the chicken or beef broth to a simmer. Stir in gochugaru, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt to taste. Add instant ramen noodles and cook until just al dente, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat once noodles are cooked.
  4. Grill the Beef: Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Sear the marinated beef for 2 to 3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove beef from pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  5. Assemble the Ramen Bowl: Divide noodles and broth into serving bowls. Top with generous spoonfuls of the creamy sauce, arrange sliced grilled beef on top, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted black sesame seeds. Add extra chili oil or gochugaru if you prefer additional heat.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the beef overnight to enhance flavor penetration.
  • Discard the seasoning packets from instant ramen as they typically contain MSG and excess sodium; the broth is flavored with fresh ingredients here.
  • Kewpie mayonnaise is recommended for its richer and creamier texture, but regular mayonnaise can be substituted.
  • Adjust gochugaru and sriracha amounts according to your preferred spice level.
  • Letting the beef rest after cooking ensures juicy, tender slices.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with firm tofu and use vegetable broth.
