Description

Creamy Beef Ramen with Seared Short Rib and Chili Oil is a rich, comforting noodle bowl featuring tender braised short ribs, silky noodles, umami-packed broth, and a spicy chili oil finish—perfect for a cozy, flavor-filled meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs bone-in beef short ribs
  • 12 oz ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp miso paste or 1 tbsp dashi concentrate
  • 6 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp chili oil (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Blanch short ribs in boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove, drain, and sear in a hot skillet until browned. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.
  3. Add broth, miso or dashi, soy sauce, and seared short ribs. Simmer uncovered for 1.5–2 hours until ribs are tender.
  4. Stir in cream or soy milk and rice vinegar. Simmer gently for 5–10 more minutes.
  5. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  6. Divide noodles among bowls. Top with short rib, egg halves, scallions, and chili oil.
  7. Ladle hot broth over the top and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Blanch short ribs first for a cleaner broth.
  • Simmer broth uncovered to concentrate flavor and reduce slightly.
  • Use soy milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Store broth and noodles separately for best texture when reheating.
  • Use tahini or peanut butter for a nutty variation.
