All About Beef Ramen Bowls: Origins and Cooking Tips!

A Japanese Classic: Ramen is one of Japan's most iconic and beloved dishes, with a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. Originally brought to Japan from China, ramen quickly evolved into its own distinct style, with regional variations popping up all over the country. The word "ramen" itself comes from the Chinese words "la mian," meaning "pulled noodles."
The Evolution of Ramen: While ramen began as a simple bowl of noodles in broth, it has since become a culinary canvas for a wide range of flavors and ingredients. Beef ramen bowls are a delicious variation that combines the rich, savory flavor of tender beef with the comforting elements of traditional ramen.
Global Appeal: Ramen's popularity has exploded worldwide, with beef ramen bowls becoming a favorite in many countries outside Japan. The combination of flavorful broth, tender beef, and chewy noodles offers a satisfying, soul-warming meal that's perfect for any time of year.
Building the Perfect Broth: A great beef ramen starts with a rich, deeply flavored broth. Traditional ramen broths often simmer for hours to develop their complex flavors. Beef ramen typically uses a broth made from beef bones, aromatics like garlic and ginger, soy sauce, and sometimes a hint of miso for extra depth.
Tender Beef, Bold Flavors: The beef in ramen bowls can vary from thinly sliced cuts like sirloin or ribeye to slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth options like braised short ribs or beef brisket. Marinating the beef before cooking adds extra layers of flavor, and quickly searing it helps retain its juiciness.
The Noodle Matters: Ramen noodles are traditionally made from wheat flour, water, salt, and kansui, an alkaline mineral water that gives them their characteristic chewy texture and yellowish hue. For beef ramen, choose noodles that are slightly thicker to hold up against the hearty broth and tender beef.
Toppings Galore: Part of the fun of ramen is customizing it with a variety of toppings! For beef ramen bowls, popular toppings include soft-boiled eggs, green onions, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, seaweed, and sesame seeds. You can also add a touch of heat with chili oil or fresh chili slices for a spicy kick.
Quick and Easy at Home: While ramen restaurants often spend hours perfecting their bowls, you can make a delicious beef ramen at home with just a few key ingredients and some simple steps. Using store-bought broth or even instant ramen packets as a base can speed up the process while allowing you to customize your bowl with fresh, high-quality beef and your favorite toppings.

Ingredients:

2 Tbs olive oil
1 thick-cut ribeye, sliced thin
2 garlic cloves
1 onion & 1 shallot
2 Tbs brown sugar
5 mushrooms, sliced
4 Tbs low-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbs fish sauce
2 cans beef broth
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package of beef ramen per person (with seasoning packet)
Juice of 1 lime
1-2 Tbs Sriracha
1 jalapeño, sliced thin
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin

Garnish:

Soft-boiled eggs
Sliced green onions
Cilantro

Directions:

Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil and sear the steak. Add brown sugar and stir. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Sauté the onions and shallots, then add garlic (about 3 minutes total). Add mushrooms, soy sauce, fish sauce, beef broth, and two cups of water. Let the broth simmer for 10 minutes over medium-low heat.
Layer the ramen and seasoning packet, red pepper, lime zest and juice, and Sriracha. Taste your broth and add more soy sauce if needed. Pour the broth over the prepared ramen bowl to cover the noodles with liquid and let sit for 2 minutes. Then, add the garnishes and enjoy.

If using eggs:

Cover the eggs in a pot with water. Bring to a boil and let them boil for 4-5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Then, transfer them to a bowl of ice-cold water. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
