Ingredients
- For the Grilled Beef:
- 300g ribeye or sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili paste or a mild hot sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- For the Ramen:
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
- 2 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1 tbsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- For the Creamy Sauce:
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise (Kewpie preferred)
- 1 tbsp sriracha or your preferred chili sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of sugar (optional)
- Garnishes:
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- 1 tsp toasted black sesame seeds
- Optional: extra chili oil or chili flakes for added heat
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and black pepper. Add the beef and coat thoroughly. Let the beef marinate for 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of sugar. Mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cook the Ramen and Broth: In a large pot, bring the broth to a simmer. Add red chili flakes, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Stir to combine. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Grill the Beef: Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Sear the marinated beef for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized. Let the beef rest for a few minutes, then slice it against the grain.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked ramen and broth into serving bowls. Spoon a generous amount of creamy sauce over the noodles. Top with sliced grilled beef, chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and additional chili oil or chili flakes for extra heat if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your bold, flavorful, and creamy Spicy Korean Ramen with Grilled Beef & Creamy Sauce!
Notes
- Adjust the level of spice by adding more or less chili paste, sriracha, or chili flakes.
- For a heartier dish, you can add a boiled egg or sautéed vegetables.
- For a slightly milder version, reduce the chili flakes and sriracha.
