Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced

  • 4 packs Korean-style ramen noodles

  • 6 cups (1.4 liters) beef broth

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 3 tablespoons gochujang

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • 2 cups baby spinach

  • 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)


Instructions

  • Heat oil in a pot and brown the beef for 2–3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté onion in the same pot until softened.

  • Add garlic and ginger and cook briefly.

  • Stir in gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and chili flakes.

  • Add beef broth and bring to a boil.

  • Cook ramen noodles in the broth until tender.
