🥩 Ribeye Steak

Ribeye is known for its marbling, which makes it incredibly juicy and flavorful. In this ramen, thin-sliced ribeye cooks quickly and soaks up all the caramelized flavors from the brown sugar and sear. Using a high-quality cut of beef elevates the entire bowl and turns a simple noodle dish into something truly indulgent.

🍜 Instant Beef Ramen

Don’t underestimate the power of instant ramen! It provides the perfect texture and convenience for this recipe. While we use the included seasoning packet for added umami, the broth is enhanced with real beef broth, soy sauce, and aromatics—giving it a rich, homemade flavor that far surpasses what you'd expect from a simple packet.

Recipe Origin

This dish was inspired by a late-night ramen craving and a well-marbled ribeye we couldn’t resist. Combining the simplicity of instant noodles with a fully-loaded, flavor-forward broth, this ramen bowl hits all the right notes—savory, spicy, and tangy. It pulls inspiration from Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese influences, but is built with pantry-friendly ingredients. It's the kind of recipe that’s as fun to make as it is to eat, with plenty of room to customize your garnishes.

Tips, Serving Suggestions, or Storage Advice

• Freeze your ribeye for 20 minutes before slicing to make ultra-thin cuts easier.

• Don’t skip the brown sugar—it helps caramelize the steak for added flavor.

• Simmer the broth on low to prevent it from reducing too much.

• Use low-sodium broth and soy sauce to control saltiness.

• Add veggies like spinach, bok choy, or snap peas for more color and crunch.

• Cook ramen noodles separately if you want to prevent overcooking.

• Adjust sriracha to your spice tolerance, or add chili crisp for depth.

• Make soft-boiled eggs ahead for easy prep.

• Add a dash of toasted sesame oil for extra aroma just before serving.

• Store leftover broth and toppings separately from noodles to avoid sogginess.

Beef Ramen Bowl

Serves 2–3 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided

• 1 thick-cut ribeye steak, thinly sliced

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 Tbsp brown sugar

• ½ sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced

• 1 shallot, thinly sliced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 5 mushrooms, sliced

• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 Tbsp fish sauce

• 2 cans beef broth

• 2 cups water

• 1 package of beef ramen per person (with seasoning packet)

• Zest and juice from 1 lime

• 1–2 Tbsp sriracha

• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Garnishes (optional but recommended):

• Soft-boiled eggs

• Thinly sliced jalapeño

• Sliced green onions

• Fresh cilantro

Instructions:

1. Season sliced ribeye with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sear the steak. Add brown sugar and stir to coat the beef. Remove from pot and set aside.

2. In the same pot, add the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil. Sauté onion and shallot for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

3. Stir in mushrooms, soy sauce, fish sauce, beef broth, and water. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

4. Add ramen noodles and seasoning packets directly to the broth. Layer in red bell pepper, lime zest and juice, and sriracha. Simmer until noodles are tender, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Return beef to the pot or layer it into individual bowls.

6. Ladle broth and noodles into serving bowls. Top with your favorite garnishes and enjoy hot.

Soft-Boiled Egg Tip:Cover eggs in water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then cook for 4–5 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking and make peeling easier.

FAQ Section

Q: Can I use a different cut of beef?Yes! Flank steak, sirloin, or even thinly sliced leftover roast beef will work. Just aim for thin slices so they cook quickly and stay tender.

Q: What if I don’t have fish sauce?You can substitute with a little extra soy sauce and a splash of Worcestershire for depth.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?You can prep the broth and toppings ahead of time. Cook the noodles fresh just before serving to keep them from getting mushy.

Q: Are the seasoning packets necessary?They add an extra layer of flavor, but if you prefer less sodium, you can skip them and adjust seasoning with soy sauce or miso paste.

Q: Can I make it vegetarian?Yes! Skip the beef, use vegetable broth, and add tofu or extra mushrooms for a hearty, meatless version.
