Broth-Simmered Ramen with Spicy Steak (Print-Friendly Version)

Ramen cooks in a small quantity of seasoned broth while marinated steak sears separately. A chili mayonnaise finishes the bowls after cooking. Unlike drained sauced noodles, this version retains its cooking broth, although how much remains depends on the noodle packets used.
