Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and sugar.

Divide the sauce in half and add half into a ziplock bag.

Add the Swiss steak into the bag and seal it.

Put the ziplock bag with the steak in the refrigerator to chill. (from 30 minutes or overnight.)

Cover the remaining half of the sauce and place in refrigerator.

Place a large pan on the stove and drizzle with oil.

Heat oil to a medium temperature.

Place the steak from the ziploc bag into the heated pan with oil. (Keep the leftover sauce in the ziplock bag and set aside)

Cook the steak on medium heat for 5-8 minutes or until the steak is brown and cooked.

Remove the steak from the pan and place on a cutting board and set aside.

Add the onions, mushrooms, ramen noodles, ramen seasoning, and the sauce from the ziploc bag to the pan.

Add the water from the ramen to the pan until it starts to simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through.

With the steak still on the cutting board, slice into 1/2 inch slices.

Add the steak and the rest of the sauce to the pan.

Continue to cook until the steak is heated through.

Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Gochujang 🌶️
Toast the gochujang in oil for 1-2 minutes before adding liquids to deepen its flavor and eliminate any raw paste taste for a more complex heat profile.
Cook Noodles Al Dente 🍜
Remove ramen noodles one minute before package instructions suggest, as they'll continue cooking in the hot broth and maintain perfect texture rather than becoming mushy.
Build Your Umami Base 🧄
Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant before adding other ingredients, then bloom them with soy sauce to create a deeply savory foundation that enhances the entire dish.
Balance Sweet and Spicy ⚖️
Add sugar gradually while tasting—it should just balance the heat without making the dish sweet; start with 1 teaspoon and adjust upward for your heat preference.
Finish with Sesame Oil Drizzle 🫒
Drizzle sesame oil in the last 30 seconds of cooking for maximum aroma and nutty flavor, as high heat will cause it to lose its delicate characteristics if added too early.
