Ingredients

300g flank steak or ribeye, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon gochujang

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

2 servings fresh ramen noodles

1 tablespoon gochujang

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon chili oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons hot noodle water

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon gochujang

1 teaspoon soy sauce

½ teaspoon rice vinegar

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Pinch sugar

Splash of water or milk (to thin)

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Toasted sesame seeds

Chili oil or red pepper flakes (optional)


Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and gochujang. Add sliced beef, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. In another bowl, whisk mayonnaise, gochujang, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, and sugar. Thin with a bit of water or milk. Chill until needed.

3. Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions. Reserve 2 tablespoons of noodle water, then drain.

4. In a separate bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, sugar, and reserved noodle water. Add noodles and toss until evenly coated.

5. Heat a grill or cast iron pan over medium-high. Grill marinated beef for 2–3 minutes per side until charred and caramelized.

6. Place noodles in bowls. Top with grilled beef. Add a spoonful of creamy sauce on top.

7. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and extra chili oil if desired.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy while hot.

Notes

Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.

Make sure the grill pan is hot before adding beef to achieve a perfect char.

Adjust the thickness of the creamy sauce with milk or water—it should be spoonable but not runny.
