Instructions
Creating Spicy Korean Ramen with Grilled Beef & Creamy Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Beef: Thinly slice the beef steak against the grain. Marinate it in soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Grill the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the heavy cream. Stir gently, scraping the bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate flavor. If desired, add cornstarch mixed with a little water for thickness.
5. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce until well combined. Season to taste with additional salt or gochujang for more heat.
6. Serve with Beef: Plate the creamy ramen and top it generously with the grilled beef slices.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
8. Optional Toppings: If desired, top with boiled eggs, chili flakes, or fresh vegetables for extra nutrition and flair.
