# How to Make It:
01 -
Combine soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Add the steak and evenly coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
02 -
Mix mayonnaise, sriracha or Korean chili sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Chill until ready for serving.
03 -
In a pot, bring the broth to a simmer. Add gochugaru, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt to taste. Cook the ramen noodles until just al dente, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
04 -
Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Sear the marinated steak for 2–3 minutes per side until well caramelized. Rest for several minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
05 -
Divide the noodles and broth into serving bowls. Top each portion with sliced grilled beef, drizzle with creamy sauce, and finish with green onions, black sesame seeds, and extra chili oil or gochugaru if desired.
# Important Notes:

For deeper flavor, marinate the beef overnight and use Kewpie mayonnaise for a silkier sauce.
