02 -
Add sliced ribeye or sirloin steak to the marinade. Mix well to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight for maximum flavor.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sriracha or Korean chili sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of sugar if using. Set aside.

In a large pot, bring 2 cups chicken or beef broth to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon gochugaru, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and salt to taste.
05 -
Add ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook until just al dente, about 3 minutes.
06 -
Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Sear marinated steak slices for 1–2 minutes on each side until charred and cooked to your preferred doneness. Slice if needed.

Divide noodles and broth among serving bowls. Arrange grilled beef over noodles. Drizzle with creamy sauce.

Top bowls with chopped green onions, toasted black sesame seeds, and extra chili oil or gochugaru if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
