Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
- 10 oz linguine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside for later.
- Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Add Aromatics and Sauces: Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then stir in the brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well to combine all the flavors into a cohesive sauce.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the beef and sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine with Noodles: Once the sauce is thickened, add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss the noodles gently in the sauce to coat them evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions. Serve the Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles hot and enjoy!
