Step 1: Marinate the Beef
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and minced garlic.
Add beef and coat thoroughly. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).
Step 2: Grill the Beef
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the beef for 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Spicy Sauce
In a pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
Add garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant.
Stir in gochujang and soy sauce; cook for 1 minute.
Add water or broth and stir well.
Lower heat and pour in heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
Add sugar or honey if desired to balance heat. Simmer for another minute and remove from heat.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
Toss the cooked noodles with the creamy spicy sauce until well coated.
Place the noodles in bowls and top with sliced grilled beef.
Garnish with halved soft-boiled eggs, scallions, and sesame seeds.
