Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
- 10 oz linguine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Cook the linguine according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Aromatics and Sauces: Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this into the skillet, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles well in the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra spice, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
