Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

Notes
- Cook the noodles at the very end: Add the ramen only when the broth is ready and simmer just until tender; overcooking will make the noodles soft and gummy.
- Taste and adjust the broth: Balance the flavor by adding extra soy sauce for saltiness, a splash of vinegar for brightness, or chili flakes for heat.
- Make a low-carb version: Swap the ramen noodles for zucchini noodles (zoodles) and add them during the last minute of cooking so they stay firm.
- Turn up the heat: Stir in chili paste, chili crisp, or sriracha to turn this into a spicy beef ramen with minimal effort.
- Boost the vegetables: Add snow peas, bok choy, spinach, or bean sprouts during the final minutes of simmering for extra texture, color, and nutrition.
