How to Make Steak and Eggs Creamy Ramen

Seasoned Soft-Boiled Eggs

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Using a ladle, gently lower the eggs one at a time into the pot. Set a timer for 6 minutes.
  2. While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath with cold water and ice.
  3. When the timer is up, transfer the eggs into the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  4. Peel the eggs and place them in a container with soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Juicy Steak

  1. Season the ribeye with For Real Blends Butcher’s BFF seasoning and drizzle with olive oil to help it adhere.
  2. Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat. Start by searing the fat cap for 1 to 2 minutes, then sear each side until a crust forms.
  3. Add butter to the pan and baste the steak during the final minute of cooking.
  4. Cook time will depend on your preferred doneness. About 1 to 2 minutes per side yields a medium-rare finish.
  5. Rest the steak in aluminum foil before slicing.

Creamy Ramen

  1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add the ramen noodles. Cook according to package directions until tender.
  2. Remove the noodles and place them in a serving bowl, leaving the broth in the pot.
  3. Add the carbonara seasoning packet and heavy cream to the broth. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until thickened and creamy.
  4. The ramen also comes with a spicy packet. Use sparingly if you want extra heat, but chili crisp at the end gives plenty of kick.

Assemble

  1. Pour the creamy broth over the ramen noodles in the serving bowl.
  2. Slice the rested steak and arrange on top of the noodles.
  3. Add a soy-marinated soft-boiled egg, then garnish with green onions and chili crisp.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Storage and Reheating

  • Storage: Store leftover ramen and steak separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep marinated eggs in their marinade in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat the ramen broth on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed through, then add the noodles just before serving. Steak can be gently reheated in a skillet with a little butter, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.

Steak and Eggs Creamy Ramen takes a classic comfort food favorite and transforms it into something truly memorable. Between the juicy, butter-basted ribeye, the creamy ramen broth, and the savory soy-marinated eggs, this bowl hits every note of indulgence and satisfaction. It’s a recipe worth savoring, whether for a cozy night in or an impressive dinner for someone special.

Whether you’re making them for game day, dinner, or a late-night craving, these tenders deliver indulgence you’ll be thinking about long after the last bite.


Why You’re Going to Love This Recipe

  • Versatile and addictive – Serve them over fries, stuff them in a sandwich, or eat them straight off the plate.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Chicken Marinade

For the Crispy Breading

For the Creamy Garlic Parm Sauce

How to Make It (WATCH HERE)

garlic parm chicken tenders

Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and mix well. Add the chicken tenders and let them soak up all that flavor for at least an hour or overnight if you’ve got the time.

Make the Crispy Breading
In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until evenly combined. Set aside.

Make the Garlic Parm Sauce
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Whisk in the cream, then season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer until thickened, then stir in the parmesan until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly, it’ll thicken even more as it rests.

Fry the Tenders
Heat a deep pot of canola oil to 350°F. Dredge the marinated tenders in the breading, pressing gently to adhere. Shake off any excess and fry in batches until golden and crisp, and the chicken is fully cooked through.

Assemble and Serve
Once all the tenders are fried, arrange them on a platter, drizzle generously with that garlic parm sauce, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a little extra grated parmesan. Serve immediately while they’re hot and the sauce is warm and dreamy.


How to Store & Reheat

To Store: Keep leftover chicken tenders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the sauce separately if possible.

To Reheat: Pop the tenders in a 375°F oven or air fryer until hot and crispy again. Gently reheat the sauce on the stovetop or microwave, stirring frequently to bring it back to life.
