Instructions

Marinate Beef: Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a bowl. Add sliced beef and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
Heat Broth: Bring broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot. Whisk in gochujang and miso paste until completely smooth. The mixture should be aromatic and well-combined.
Grill Beef: Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Cook marinated beef for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely caramelized but still tender inside.
Cook Noodles: Add ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Don’t overcook or they’ll become mushy and unpleasant.
Add Cream: Stir in heavy cream, butter, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce becomes creamy and well-integrated throughout.
Assemble Bowls: Divide noodles and broth among four bowls. Top with grilled beef, halved eggs, green onions, nori strips, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
Store components separately to prevent noodles from becoming mushy in the fridge.
Gochujang can be found in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
Soft-boiled eggs can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored peeled in water.
Adjust spice level by varying the amount of gochujang to your personal taste preference.
Fresh ramen noodles can be substituted for instant if you prefer a more authentic texture.
