08 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

09 - ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

10 - 2 packs Korean instant ramen, seasoning packets discarded

11 - 1 tablespoon gochujang

12 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce

13 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil

14 - 1 teaspoon chili flakes

15 - ½ teaspoon sugar

16 - ¼ cup reserved noodle water

17 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

18 - 1 teaspoon gochujang

19 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce

20 - 1 teaspoon honey

21 - 1 tablespoon warm water

→ Garnishes

22 - 2 tablespoons chopped scallions

23 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

24 - Optional: shredded nori

25 - Optional: pickled radish

26 - Optional: soft-boiled egg

# How to Make It:

01 - Mix the beef’s soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, gochujang, garlic, ginger, vinegar and pepper in a bowl.

02 - Coat the thin steak slices and refrigerate thirty minutes. Mix mayonnaise, its gochujang, soy sauce, honey and warm water separately and chill.

03 - Boil ramen without the seasoning packets until just tender and reserve one-quarter cup cooking water. Drain the noodles.

04 - Heat the noodle sauce ingredients with the reserved water in a pan over low heat.

05 - Toss in noodles until coated and hot, loosening with a little water if needed. Sear the drained steak slices in a hot skillet in batches, discarding used marinade.

06 - Check the steak reaches 145°F and rest at least three minutes. Portion noodles and steak, then drizzle with the clean mayonnaise sauce and add scallions and sesame seeds.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - No: the noodles are boiled separately, drained and coated with a small sauce using a quarter cup of noodle water.

02 - They belong to three separate mixtures: beef marinade, noodle sauce and mayonnaise drizzle.

03 - Slice thinly across the grain so it cooks quickly and is easier to bite with noodles.
