Ingredients
For the marinated beef
  • 4 tbsps gochujang
  • 2 tbsps dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsps rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 4 tsps granulated sugar
  • 2 beef medallion steaks
For the noodles
  • 2 tbsps oil, divided
  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced
  • 5 mushrooms, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 packets instant beef ramen noodles and their seasoning sachets
  • 350ml hot water
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl.
Place the medallion steaks in a freezer bag and pour in 1/2 of the marinade. Toss to coat well & refrigerate until ready to cook, allowing to marinade for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. Keep the remaining sauce chilled.
When ready to cook, heat a large wok until hot and add 1 tbsp of the oil.
Add the steaks, without excess marinade and cook evenly on both sides to your liking. I recommend 2 minutes each side for a rare steak, but it will depend on the thickness of your steaks.
Remove the steaks & set aside.
Add the other tbsp of oil and then add the onions and mushrooms to the pan. Stir fry for 2 minutes until softened.
Add the noodles and their seasoning, water & marinade from the steaks.
Simmer gently for 7 minutes until the noodles gave softened, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the steaks.
Once the noodles are cooked, add the steak slices & reserved marinade sauce and cook for 2 minutes until the steaks have warmed through.
Garnish with the sliced spring onions and serve immediately.
Tips
  • If you can't source any gochujang, substitute with any hot chilli sauce.
  • If you don't like mushrooms, you could add any other vegetables you have to this dish to mix the recipe up to your liking!
