Description
A delicious beef ramen soup that is hearty and flavorful, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 3 packages (3 ounces each) instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Soft-boiled eggs (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set it aside to keep warm.
- In the same pot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes fragrant, releasing its flavors into the oil and pot base.
- Pour in the beef broth and water, bringing the mixture to a rolling boil. Add the sliced mushrooms and soy sauce to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the instant ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, generally about 3-4 minutes, until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm.
- Return the cooked beef to the pot, add the baby spinach, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the beef is heated through.
- Drizzle the soup with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Give everything a gentle stir to combine.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions, and add a soft-boiled egg if desired for extra richness and texture. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- This soup is customizable; add more vegetables or tofu for different variations.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding chili flakes or sriracha.
