# How To Make:
01 - Combine beef slices with soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
02 - Combine chicken or beef broth, miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, chili oil, ginger, and green onion whites in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and gently simmer for 20 minutes.
03 - Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Lower heat, stir in heavy cream and cream cheese until smooth. Add soy sauce, season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
04 - Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Quickly sear the marinated beef for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
05 - Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain well and divide among serving bowls. Arrange halved soft-boiled eggs, bean sprouts, spinach, and seared beef over the noodles.
06 - Ladle hot broth into each bowl. Drizzle creamy garlic sauce generously over the top. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and sliced red chili if using. Serve immediately while hot.
