Beef Ramen Noodle Bowl
A warm and comforting bowl of beef ramen made with tender sliced beef, flavorful broth, and springy noodles, topped with fresh green onions for an easy, satisfying meal in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
For the Beef:
- 250 g beef strips sirloin or flank steak
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp garlic minced
For the Ramen:
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles discard seasoning
- 2 cups beef broth
Instructions
Season the Beef:
- In a bowl, mix the beef strips with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Cook the Beef:
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned and tender. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Broth:
- In a pot, bring the beef broth to a gentle boil. Add soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Let simmer for 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Cook the Ramen:
- Add the ramen noodles directly into the simmering broth. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft but still springy.
Assemble the Bowl:
- Divide the noodles into two bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles. Top with cooked beef slices.
Garnish & Serve:
- Finish with green onions, bok choy, sesame seeds, or chili oil if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Beef Choice: Flank steak or sirloin works best because they cook quickly and stay tender.
- Thicker Broth Tip: Add 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with cold water to the broth for a richer texture.
- Spicy Version: Add chili paste, sriracha, or chili oil to the broth.
- Vegetable Add-Ins: Bok choy, spinach, mushrooms, or carrots make the bowl healthier and more colorful.
- Ramen Tip: Don’t overcook the noodles — they continue to soften in the hot broth.
- Make-Ahead: You can cook the beef and broth in advance. Add noodles only before serving to keep them fresh.
