Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ground beef: 1 lb
  • Garlic: 5 cloves minced
  • Brown sugar: 1/3 cup
  • Beef broth: 1/4 cup
  • Soy sauce: 1/3 cup
  • Hoisin sauce: 3 tablespoons
  • Ground ginger: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Ground black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Red pepper flakes: A pinch optional
  • Linguine: 10 oz cooked al dente
  • Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon
  • Water: 2 tablespoons
  • Green onions: 4 sliced

Method
 

  1. Cook the Noodles: Boil the linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, ground ginger, and black pepper. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the beef.
  5. Thicken the Sauce: Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  6. Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Top with sliced green onions and, if desired, red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Customize the Spice Level: Adjust red pepper flakes to your taste or omit them for a milder dish.
  • Add Veggies: Bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots make great additions for added nutrition.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
