Method

Prep the toppings

Thinly slice the Green Onion and set it aside for finishing. Measure the Breadcrumbs and keep them nearby so the final assembly goes quickly.

Season the steak

Pat the NY Strip Steak very dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with Salt and Pepper. Press the seasoning onto the surface so it sticks well and helps build a flavorful crust.

Heat the skillet

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the Canola Oil. Heat until the oil looks thin and shimmery and the pan is hot enough that the steak should sizzle the moment it touches the surface.

Sear the steak

Lay the seasoned steak in the hot skillet and sear the first side for 3 minutes without moving it. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes more, or a little longer if needed, until both sides are deeply browned and the center is cooked to your liking.

Rest the steak

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This gives the juices time to settle so the meat stays tender instead of running out onto the board.

Simmer the ramen

While the steak rests, pour the Water into the same skillet, scraping up any browned bits left behind, and bring it to a simmer. Add the Otoki Mac & Cheese Ramen noodles and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and mostly loosened apart.

Drain and sauce

Drain the noodles, but save about 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Return the noodles to the skillet with that reserved liquid, then stir in the ramen cheese seasoning packet and the Shredded Cheddar Cheese until everything melts into a creamy, glossy sauce that coats the noodles evenly.

Slice and serve

Slice the rested steak into thin strips. Divide the cheesy ramen between bowls, arrange the steak over the top, and finish with Shredded Parmesan Cheese, the prepared breadcrumbs, and the sliced green onion. Serve right away while the noodles are hot and creamy.
