Method

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and melt the butter.

  2. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2–3 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Onion is translucent and garlic smells fragrant.

  3. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

  4. Stir in the soy sauce and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. Add the heavy cream, reduce the heat to low, and let the broth simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cream broth thickens slightly at a low simmer.

  6. While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles in a separate pot according to the package directions (usually 3–4 minutes), then drain and set aside.

  7. In a hot skillet, quickly sear the thinly sliced steak over high heat for 1–2 minutes per side, just until browned but still tender.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Steak is browned outside and remains tender.

  8. Return the cooked noodles to the broth pot, add the seared steak, and gently stir to coat everything evenly.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Noodles and steak are coated evenly by the creamy broth.

  9. Allow the mixture to heat through for another minute, then remove from heat.

  10. Serve the creamy ramen hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
