For the Ramen & Toppings

- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup carrots, julienne
- 1/2 cup spinach, sauteed with avocado oil

Instructions
Sear the Ribeye
- Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Thinly slice the ribeye. If you freeze the steak for about 30 minutes, it'll make it easier to slice.
- Season the ribeye steak with salt and pepper, and add it to the pot. Sear the steak on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes total.
Make the Beef Broth
- Remove the steak from the pot and set it aside. In same pan, add onions, garlic and mushrooms. Sautee until lightly charred but not burnt.
- Add chopped ginger, granulated sugar, rice vinegar, tamari or gluten-free soy sauce, fish sauce, beef broth and water to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Braise the Beef
- Add the seared steak back to the pot, and cover with a lid.
- Simmer the beef for 1-2 hours until it is tender.
Make the Miso Tare
- While the beef is braising, make the miso tare.
- Bloom the ginger: In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and bloom for about 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from heat.
- Add the miso paste, mirin sake and sesame oil to the pan. Whisk until well combined.
Make the Jammy Eggs
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add 4 eggs to the pot and boil for exactly 7 minutes.
- While the eggs are boiling, prepare a bowl of ice water.
- After 7 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the ice water and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Peel the eggs and cut them in half. The yolks should be slightly runny (jammy).
Sautée the Spinach
- Wash a bunch of spinach and remove the stems. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
Cook the Pasta
- Cook your chosen noodles according to the package instructions. We used Cassava Spaghetti, which took 11 minutes to cook. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water.
Assemble the Ramen
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of the miso tare to the bottom of a large bowl.
- Top with the cooked noodles.
- Ladle the hot beef broth over the noodles until the bowl is full.
- Top the ramen with sliced ribeye steak, jammy soft boiled eggs, edamame, spinach, carrots, sliced green onions, sliced red chilis. Garnish with sesame seeds and a drizzle of chili oil crisp.

Miso Paste: There is some debate when it comes to whether or not miso is paleo friendly. If you have decided to avoid miso, simply omit it altogether.
Sake & Mirin: Replace these two with 1 tbsp of coconut sugar and 1 tbsp of water or omit altogether.
