Hearty Beef Ramen

Embark on a journey of rich and robust flavors with this hearty beef ramen recipe, where succulent top sirloin steak takes center stage. Combine the comfort of ramen with the indulgence of premium beef, creating a symphony of textures and tastes that will warm your soul. A California rosé can offer a unique and refreshing contrast to the rich and hearty flavors of this dish. While not a traditional pairing, the acidity in the rosé can help cut through the richness of the dish, while the red fruit flavors can add a touch of brightness to each bite.

Yield: 2 Servings

Ingredients

  • 3 1⁄2 cups (875ml) rich beef broth
  • 1-pound Top Sirloin Steak, cut into 1-inch strips
  • A pat of butter
  • 1⁄2 pound (250g) fresh ramen noodles
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (6g) of freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons (10g) sesame oil
  • 4 fresh shiitake mushrooms (45 grams) stems removed, then sliced
  • Coarse salt
  • 1⁄2 cup (70g) fresh or frozen shelled edamame
  • ½ cup (70g) Menma bamboo shoots
  • 1⁄4 cup (65g) white miso
  • 1⁄4 cup (30g) minced green onion, white and pale green part only
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat a large pan on medium-high heat. Add the butter, garlic, and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until aromatic, then add the steak strips. Sear both sides of the steak, removing from the pan just before desired doneness (the steak will continue to cook with residual heat).
  • Next, add the sesame oil and sauté the mushrooms until softened, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and set aside with the beef.
  • In the meantime, bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook until al dente (about 3 minutes on average, will depend on freshness of noodles).
  • Rinse noodles with cool water and toss in a bowl with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Fill two large soup bowls with warm water to preheat them.
  • Warm the beef broth in a saucepan until simmering. Add the edamame and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Put the miso in a bowl and whisk in enough of the hot broth to create a smooth mixture. Stir the miso mixture back into the saucepan. Salt to taste.
  • Empty the water from the preheated bowls. Divide the ramen noodles evenly between the bowls and top with hot broth. Top the bowls with the beef, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and edamame. Garnish with green onions and optional sesame seeds.
