This Steak and Asparagus Teriyaki Ramen is so easy and flavorful! Way better than take-out, this Asian inspired steak and asparagus recipe is always a crowd-pleaser!
Teriyaki Beef Ramen
I finally found asparagus at the farmer’s market!!! To me, farm fresh asparagus means Spring is really here. At last! And I’m majorly rejoicing over this. It’s been such a hellish, naughty Winter, I almost feel a moment of silence and gratuity for sunshine seasons bright and poppy arrival is in order.
…
And we’re back! Let’s talk meat, veggies, and ramen.
Teriyaki Beef Ramen Noodles
I’ve always been intrigued by ramen. I don’t why really… I ate it all the time growing up. I guess it’s just one of those foods that has endless possibilities, and thus, never gets old. Plus, it’s noodles! I could live happily on noodles alone till the day I die. I love them.
The steak and asparagus are the real stars of this dish! They’re cooked quickly in a skillet, and tossed in a slightly spicy – super garlicky teriyaki sauce that’s sure to win your heart – or at least your belly. I wanted to eat the sauce with a spoon! It was that good.
The ramen is simply boiled, drained, and tossed in a little soy sauce mixture. It also gets a hearty sprinkle of scallions. They add a great crunch that you don’t want to miss.
This makes a TON of food, but luckily, the leftovers are just as dreamy the next day! We actually lived off this teriyaki situation for 3 days straight and it was wonderful. If you want to scale it down you can probably cut it in half, but I haven’t tried it yet. We love leftovers 🙂
Steak and Asparagus Teriyaki Ramen is a million times tastier than any take-out! Make this tonight!

Steak and Asparagus Teriyaki Ramen
Ingredients
- Two packages ramen noodles (I used the ones from soup packages!)
- 1 pound boneless skirt steak
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce; divided
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large bundle of asparagus, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Place noodles in a large heat proof bowl. Cover with boiling water, cover with a small plate on top, and soak for 3-5 minutes, or until completely cooked. Drain well and set aside.
- Cut the beef crosswise into 3" pieces and then rotate a quarter and slice very thinly lengthwise, cutting across the grain.
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the beef broth, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, cornstarch, brown sugar and sesame oil, whisking well to combine; set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Once sufficiently hot (the oil should be sizzling) add half of the beef and cook, stirring once or twice, until brown on the outside and still juicy on the inside, about 2 minutes. Remove meat with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large serving bowl. Repeat with the remaining beef, adding 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Transfer all cooked meat to the serving bowl, keeping the skillet on the burner.
- Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Add the asparagus and cook, stirring frequently, just until it starts to soften, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium, add a dash of oil, the ginger and the garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until *just golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute.
- Add the beef broth mixture to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened; about 1 minute.
- Add the beef; stir to coat. Transfer the beef to a large serving platter, leaving room for the noodles.
- Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining oil and soy sauce over medium-high heat.
- Add the ramen noodles and and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Transfer to the serving platter and garnish with additional green onions if desired. Serve at once!
That looks SO GOOD. I love asparagus too, can’t wait to make all sorts of things with it this season! Also <3 ramen. 🙂
This sounds delicious! I love that teriyaki sauce you threw together and there is no need to scale down the recipe because leftovers are a home cook’s lifesavers!!! The bundle of asparagus that I have in my fridge have been waiting for a filling meal like this!
that looks abs delicious. Yum.

So. Hungry. So very very very hungry. Good lord this looks good.
Managed to impress my husband with this little number! Although I had to sub a couple of ingredients – used actual sesame seeds as didn’t have oil and made sticky rice. Was still amazing and can’t wait for left overs tomorrow!
Can’t wait to make this! Do you use two of the individual packages of ramen noodles or two of the big boxes with multiple packages?
Hey Kelsie! Just two of the individual packages 😉 Enjoy! xo
This is delish!!!! I just made it exactly as printed. My hubby loves it, and he’s picky! Thank you!
What is the nutritional value on this? sounds great!
Hi Jessica. I’m not quite sure what the nutritional value is. If you type in the ingredients into a calorie counter (there are many available online) I’m sure you could easily find out. I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
I was wondering what you do with the 2 teaspoons of brown sugar.
Thanks for the recipe! I’ve been searching for a good homemade Chinese dish and this is it! I followed the recipe, the only thing I’ll do next time is double it. I have a teenage son who eats a lot and he loved this. Thanks again!
Hi Tara! So happy you’ve found your go-to homemade Chinese dish 🙂 I have a teenage brother and he can almost eat this entire meal himself, so I totally know what you mean about doubling it! xo
Did you use the flavor packets that came with the ramen noodles? Also, I didn’t see where to add the scallions so I added them in with the noodles as they were cooking with the oil/soy sauce mixture. Very good!!!
Hi Karen. No, I don’t use the flavor packets; just the noodles 😉
Made this tonight with chicken. I halved the recipe. Wish I hadn’t it’s wonderful!
Looks good! Just wanted to mention though, isn’t this more of a Japanese dish, as both ramen+teriyaki are Japanese? Maybe you meant Chinese-style?
I agree with you about this being a Japanese recipe. Or a Japanese-American concept recipe. But I am Chinese by marriage and I will be cooking it for my Chinese family tonight so maybe it is a Chinese recipe.
How many serving does this make?
Holy Cow!! So good!
Thanks Amanda 🙂 Enjoy!
This was absolutely delicious!!thanks for sharing
So happy to hear it!
Made this for dinner tonight. Big hit! Will definitely make it again.
mmm..seems very tasty
It was one of those nights where we were about to have cereal for dinner and call it a day…. then I came across this simple recipe and had it served in less than 15 minutes! We all scraped our bowls and we’re left feeling satisfied. Great last minute dish to whip up! Very tasty
Yay! So happy this was a dinner win for you 🙂
