Description

Spicy Korean Ramen with Grilled Beef & Creamy Sauce is a flavorful dish combining tender grilled beef with spicy ramen noodles topped with a rich creamy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Grilled Beef:
    • 300g (about 10 oz) 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
    • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • For the Ramen:
    • 2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard the flavor packet)
    • 2 cups chicken or beef broth
    • 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
    • 1 tsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp rice vinegar
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • Salt to taste
  • For the Creamy Sauce Topping:
    • 3 tbsp mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie for extra richness)
    • 1 tbsp sriracha or Korean hot sauce
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • ½ tsp garlic powder
    • Pinch of sugar (optional for balance)
  • Garnishes:
    • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
    • 1 tsp toasted black sesame seeds
    • Extra gochugaru or chili oil (optional for heat lovers)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the beef with soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Grill the beef over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked to your liking. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. Boil the ramen noodles in the broth until tender. Add gochugaru, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Stir well.
  4. Mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic powder, and sugar to make the creamy sauce.
  5. Serve the ramen in bowls, top with sliced beef, drizzle with the creamy sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Adjust the spiciness by increasing or reducing gochujang and gochugaru.
  • For extra richness, use beef broth instead of chicken.
  • Let the beef rest after grilling to retain juices.
