Ingredients

• 12 oz udon noodles
• 8 oz beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 4 cups beef or chicken broth
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 stalks scallions, sliced thinly
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the beef or chicken broth over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

In a separate pan, heat a small amount of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until just browned and tender, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, sauté the sliced mushrooms for 2 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Divide the cooked udon noodles between serving bowls. Top each bowl with the sautéed mushrooms, cooked beef, and fresh baby spinach.

Step 7

Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and toppings in each bowl. The heat from the broth will slightly wilt the spinach.

Step 8

Garnish each bowl with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting udon beef noodle bowl.
