If you love swiss steak or even if you’re not sure what it is, this recipe for Spicy Korean Beef Noodles will knock your socks off!

I’m happy to admit it. I love steak. Do you? I try not to eat too much – bad for your heart I hear. Carne Asada is a favorite, as is this Instant Pot Mongolian Beef. Give them a try! I’ll bet your family will love them.

Spicy Korean Beef Noodles

One of the ingredients in this dish might surprise you. It’s Ramen! Isn’t that nuts? Three packages of beef ramen make for the noodles in the dish. Those hard little packages of compressed noodles are inexpensive and pretty versatile.

Did I say inexpensive? I meant to say “dirt cheap.”

What the heck is Gochujang?

You’ll notice these Spicy Korean Beef Noodles include an ingredient called Gochujang. This is a red chili paste made from chili powder, glutinous rice (sticky rice), meju powder (fermented soybean powder), yeotgireum (barley malt powder), and salt.

Gochujang looks very similar to tomato paste. Some people say it has a taste similar to sriracha, although it’s definitely not the exact same flavor. Once you try it, you’ll want to keep it on hand to pump up the taste of everything from cream cheese (to make a dip) to eggs.

To be honest, not every store is going to have Gochujang. If yours doesn’t, Amazon does and they have plenty of brands to choose from.

Rice Vinegar and Sesame Oil

If you don’t have these in your cupboard, this recipe is your excuse to buy them and keep them around because you will use them more than you think.

For example, these recipes for Baked Teriyaki Chicken, Copycat Orange Chicken, and Jakks Pacific Rim Chicken all need a little bit of sesame oil. (PS: They are soooo good. Some of my favorites.)

Swiss Steak

If there has ever been a lump of meat for angry people, it has to be this one. Why? Because you get to pound a tough cut of meat within an inch of its life. (LOL) Next time the kids are making you nuts, make this recipe for your family. By the time it hits the table, all your frustration will be left behind with the mallet.

Spicy Korean Beef Noodles with swiss steak, ramen noodles and Gochujang is a delicious dinner recipe to try, especially if you love spice!
