Description

Leftover smoked beef trimmings are resuscitated in a skillet with a signature BBQ rub and spicy pepper oil, becoming the star of this high-flavor noodle bowl. Layered with zesty lime-infused broth, paper-thin white onions, and piquant goathorn peppers, this dish turns "humble" ingredients into a complex, smoke-infused feast.

Ingredients
  • 4 packs beef flavored instant ramen
  • 1 lb leftover smoked beef (shredded or chopped trimmings)
  • 4 -6 Mama Lil’s Goathorn Peppers, chopped (plus 1 tbsp of the oil from the jar)
  • 1 small white onion, sliced paper-thin
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges
  • 1 tsp BBQ rub
Instructions
  1. 1
    Place the shredded beef in a skillet with a splash of water, the BBQ rub, and the 1 tbsp of Mama Lil's oil. Cover and heat on low until the beef is tender and the oil has emulsified.
  2. 2
    Boil the ramen noodles and seasoning packets as directed.
  3. 3
    Once the noodles are done, stir the juice of half a lime into the pot to brighten the beef broth.
  4. 4
    Divide the ramen into four bowls.
  5. 5
    Top with the warm smoked beef, raw white onions, chopped cilantro, and a generous portion of the chopped Mama Lil's peppers. Serve with an extra lime wedge.
