Save time in the kitchen: Read the instructions thoroughly, then gather and prep all your ingredients before cooking! Learn Prepping Tips.
Importance of Steak Size: Finish your steak cut in the oven if it is over 1.5 inches. To do this, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sear the Steak: Heat the wok first, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Then, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until medium-rare (or your preferred doneness). Remove the steak from the wok and set it aside to rest.
Transfer Steak to the Oven: For thicker steak cuts, after searing, transfer the steak to an oven-safe dish or a baking sheet. If your wok is oven-safe, you can place it directly in the oven. Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise cooking. Place the thermometer in the thickest part of the steak.
For Medium-Rare: Cook until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F (52-54°C). For medium: Cook until the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F (57-60°C). The timing will vary depending on the thickness of your steak, but generally, this should take 5-10 minutes for a 1.5 to 2-inch thick steak.
Prepare the Spicy Beef Broth: In the same wok, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add and combine the onions, green bell pepper, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper and cover to steam for 4-5 minutes on medium heat until softened and fragrant.
Next, uncover and stir to brown for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes, thyme, ground clove, and fresh parsley. Then, cook for 4-5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld. Pour in the beef bone broth, bring to a boil on high heat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook Vegetables and Noodles: Remove the bell pepper mixture with a strainer and set aside on a tray. Then, add the thick-sliced carrots to the broth and cook for 5-6 minutes, or once the carrots are slightly tender, remove and set aside.
Next, add the spaghetti noodles and simmer until the pasta is cooked al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Add more water if necessary to cover the noodles. In the final 2-3 minutes of cooking, stir in the spinach and let it wilt. Then, remove it and set it aside.
Slice the Steak: Thinly slice the rested steak and set aside for serving. Next, assemble and serve. Ladle the ramen broth and noodles into bowls, ensuring a generous amount of carrots and spinach is in each bowl. Then, top each bowl with a few slices of steak. Finally, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lime wedges on the side.
