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 First 🌶️
Toast the gochujang in hot oil for 1-2 minutes before adding liquid to unlock its deep, complex flavors and eliminate any raw paste taste.
Balance Sweet and Spicy 🎯
Add sugar gradually while tasting—it should complement the heat, not mask it; typically 1-2 teaspoons creates the perfect Korean sweet-spicy harmony.
Cook Noodles Al Dente 🍜
Remove ramen 1-2 minutes before package directions suggest, as they'll continue cooking in the hot broth and achieve ideal chewy texture.
Sear Beef for Umami Depth 🥩
Brown the Swiss steak pieces in a separate pan before adding to the sauce to build a rich, caramelized crust that adds savory depth to the entire dish.
Finish with Sesame Oil and Aromatics 🫒
Drizzle toasted sesame oil and scatter fresh green onions just before serving to preserve their fragrant oils and bright crunch against the hot noodles.
