Description

Experience the rich, savory flavors of Jjapaguri with Steak—a Korean fusion dish combining chewy black bean noodles, spicy broth, and juicy seared beef. Ready in just 20 minutes!


Ingredients

  • 1 pack Chapagetti noodles (Korean black bean noodles)
  • 1 pack Neoguri noodles (spicy seafood noodles)
  • 200250g ribeye or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • ½ zucchini, chopped
  • 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
  • Seasoning packets from both noodles
  • ⅓ cup reserved noodle water
  • Sesame seeds (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak:
    Pat steak dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak cubes for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Add butter and toss to coat. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook the Noodles:
    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add both noodle packs and cook for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Drain, reserving about ⅓ cup of noodle water.
  3. Mix the Sauce:
    Return noodles to the pot. Add the seasoning packets and reserved noodle water. Stir over low heat until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the noodles.
  4. Combine and Serve:
    Add the steak cubes to the noodles and toss gently. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ribeye or sirloin for the most tender and flavorful results.
  • Don’t overcook the noodles—keeping them slightly chewy maintains their authentic texture.
  • For extra spice, add a spoonful of gochujang (Korean chili paste).
  • Want a cheesy twist? Stir in a slice of mozzarella while mixing the noodles.
  • Serve with kimchi or pickled radish for a perfect flavor balance.
