Cuso’s Easy to Make Wagyu Steak Ramen Recipe

Chef’s Tip: The Secret to Soft-Boiled Eggs

Bring a large saucepan filled with water (leave 2” space at the rim) up to a boil. Reduce it to a rapid simmer. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and simmer for 7 minutes. Prepare a bowl with ice water. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked eggs into the water bath. When they are cool enough to handle, carefully remove the shells, then slice them in half for the ramen.

Secrets for Success when Making Cuso’s Steak Ramen Recipe

• Reach for the best beef bone stock you can find. This is the backbone of all your other flavors.
• Monitor the Wagyu. Sear it fast, and then let it rest. Stir in the mayo just before you pour the broth over the noodles
• Cut the steak thinly with a good knife, making sure to cut against the grain.
• If you’re not fond of soft-boiled eggs, you can cook them for a longer time, but the soft egg texture enriches the broth, resulting in a slightly different mouthfeel.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Making Steak Ramen

• Adding the mayo, then boiling the broth. This can cause splitting and deter the broth’s silkiness. 
• You don’t need a lot of steak for this dish, so don’t go crazy with big pieces. Your steak should have plenty of room for caramelization in the skillet.
• Not letting the steak rest. It needs at least 5 minutes to retain juiciness. 
• Not draining the eggs. There’s plenty of salt in this dish without adding the soy. Also, look for low-salt broths. 
• Overcooking the noodles. Go for a slight al dente. They will cook more in the broth.

Food Timeline: History and Origins of Ramen

The earliest noodles resembling ramen came from China, which traded it with Japan in the 19th century. The Japanese fell in love with ramen, and by the 20th century, it had its own cultural imprint, with regional variations. Tokyo hosted the first ramen restaurant, which opened in 1910. 

It would be nearly 50 years before instant ramen appeared, invented in 1958 by Momofuku Ando. Cup noodles followed in 1971 (Nissin). In 2005, ramen met destiny. It went into space for the first time with astronaut Soichi Noguchi. 

Storage and Reheating Steak Ramen Noodles

It’s best to keep the noodles and broth separate in the refrigerator. They stay good for about 3 days in airtight containers.

To rewarm, place the broth in a pan and bring it to a simmer. Add the noodles and steak just before serving. Do not microwave.

If you want more eggs, make them fresh.

FAQs

Where can I buy Momofuku noodles or lemon-rosemary salt? 

Several major retailers carry Momofuku noodles, including Kroger, Target, Amazon, and Whole Foods. The Momofuku website also sells directly to consumers.

As for the lemon-rosemary salt, Amazon and Walmart both carry it, as do specialty salt shops. 

What is Kewpi Mayo

Kewpi Mayo is a Japanese product with a custard-like texture. It’s made only with egg yolks and rice or apple cider vinegar, making it very rich and creamy. 

If I don’t have Wagyu, what other steak can I use for this ramen recipe?

Shop for well-marbled steaks like ribeye, filet mignon, or New York Strip. They come close to the flavor and tenderness. 

Can I use noodles other than ramen?

Yes, soba, rice, and egg noodles all work, but they rarely come with sauce or spice packs, so you’ll need to adjust the recipe accordingly. 

How can I make this spicier?

Use a dash of hot sauce, sriracha, gochujang, or chili oil. Red pepper flakes and chili powder also work. 

Why does Cuso’s Steak Ramen recipe include mayo?

It’s a ‘trick’ for creating body and improving the creamy finish of the broth.

People Also Ask

What are some suggested additions for a steak ramen meal, and what about beverages?

Keep with the theme! Make Gyoza (pot stickers), fried tofu, Yakitori, pickled vegetables, grilled Bok choy, rice balls, or tempura shrimp (making surf and turf). For dessert, green tea and ginger ice cream. 

Pair steak ramen with sake, Kirin beer, a whisky highball, pinot noir, or plum wine (a favorite). Nonalcoholic ideas include Yuzu soda, green tea on ice, or ginger-lemon seltzer.

Can I freeze ramen broth?

If you omit the noodles and mayonnaise, you can freeze it for up to two months. 

Does the Wagyu steak need to be seared for this recipe?

I highly recommend it. Searing provides a complex-flavored brown crust that adds a textural element to the dish.
