5 Ingredient Beef and Pepper Ramen Recipe

Feb 12, 2016 · 16 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

In need of a quick dinner? I’ve got you covered with this 5 ingredient beef and pepper ramen that only takes 20 minutes to make!

5 ingredient beef ramen and peppers for a super easy dinner idea this image

After your truly amazing response to 5 ingredient ramen with an egg, I’m back with another ramen recipe. This one has beef and peppers which are cooked to perfection in a Thai sweet chili sauce and then sits atop a bed of ramen noodles.

[Tag me on Instagram, @philiakelnhofer “Dinner is ready in under 20 minutes – 5 ingredient beef and pepper #ramen from @philiakelnhofer“]
The best sweet chili sauce for beef and pepper ramenI think I know why the ramen with an egg recipe went over so well with you guys, heck, I make it about once (ok, you got me, probably more like twice) a week: it’s super easy, quick, and suuuuuper delicious. Over 10 of you made it and sent me amazing photos and reader recreations (I’m always updating the reader recreations, so keep ’em coming!)

Sandwich steak for 5 ingredient beef ramen

Even though some people might think that ramen is just a budget college food I would argue that it’s becoming super ‘hip’ and ‘trendy’! Mix it with a few other ingredients and dinner is served (while still being a super budget friendly meal!)

Budget friendly dinner idea for beef and pepper ramen

When I’m running short on time during the week (which is pretty much always) I love making this dish. You slice a bell pepper and start cooking it, then you’ll add in Thai sweet chili sauce (which is such a great sauce and can be found in your local grocery store or you can buy a big jar of it on amazon which is exactly what I’m going to do – because this stuff is so friggin good) and then add the beef and peppers over ramen noodles (I cook them like noodles and drain the water so that it’s not a soupy dish.) If you’re ever in need of a super quick and delicious dinner idea, this beef ramen with peppers would make an excellent choice!

    We fell in love with ramen after reading about it here, it’s such a great way to make a yummy soup in no time at all. We haven’t used beef before in ramen, doesn’t it get a bit tough? Do you have any tips for that?:) We’re asking because we tried it in stir-fry and it’s almost always darn tough:)
    Thank you for the yummy recipe dear! Pinned!

      I’m so glad you fell in love with ramen after reading about it here, it is one of my favorite quick meals. In terms of the beef being tough, I haven’t had that problem before. I usually like to buy sandwich beef which is sliced really thin or slice the beef really thinly, hope that helps 🙂

    Made this with chicken instead of beef and rice instead of ramen and it was a great flavor combo! (I also left out the ramen flavor packet and just added salt and pepper and garlic to taste). Love the sweet Thai chili sauce! Serve with extra sweet Thai chili sauce and spicy siracha sauce on the side! We ate it too fast to take a picture and post it!

    Ramen is totally hip and trendy right now! I actually really hate the ramen at ramen bars tho.. there’s something about miso that I just can’t get behind, and I feel like miso is in a lot of the different broths they use. Your ramen recipe sounds awesome though and I’m sure I’d love all the flavors. Noodle-y perfection right there!

      You’re spot on – I actually am not in love with ramen restaurants either – it’s always so much broth and not the best flavor combinations, so I find making it at home is sooooo much better!

    When you have ramen, you always have a quick and easy meal. I know it is a student classic, but there is so much that you can do with it – like this proves.
