Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Sauce

  • 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)

Noodles

  • 10 oz linguine

Thickening Agent

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Garnish

  • 4 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the meat, until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to mix all ingredients.
  4. Simmer the Beef in Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  5. Make the Slurry: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. Add this slurry to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef nicely.
  6. Combine Noodles and Beef Sauce: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the Mongolian beef sauce.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of chili paste.
  • You can substitute linguine with other pasta types like spaghetti or egg noodles.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste if a lower sodium version is desired.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and pasta alternatives.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
