Ingredients
Scale
1 lb Flank Steak or Sirloin, thinly sliced against the grai
6 cups Beef Stock (Low Sodium), use high-quality bone broth if available
2-inch piece Fresh Ginger, sliced into rounds
4 large Garlic Cloves, smashed
3 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Sesame Oil
12 oz Ramen Noodles, fresh or dried alkaline noodles
2 heads Baby Bok Choy, quartered
3 stalks Green Onions, thinly sliced on a bias
Instructions
- Start by smashing the garlic and slicing the ginger. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat a teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant and slightly browned
- Pour the beef stock into the pot with the aromatics. Add the soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and let simmer for at least 20 minutes
- While the broth simmers, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Season the thinly sliced beef with a pinch of salt. Sear each side for about 60 seconds, then remove and set aside
- In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. During the last two minutes of the broth simmering, add the quartered bok choy directly into the broth
- Place a portion of noodles into each bowl. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, including some wilted bok choy. Arrange the seared beef slices on top
- Top with sliced green onions, a drizzle of sesame oil, and serve immediately
Notes
Store the broth and the noodles in separate containers to avoid mushy noodles when reheating.
