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)
  • 10 oz linguine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine: Prepare the linguine according to the package instructions. Once cooked al dente, drain the noodles and set them aside to keep warm.
  2. Brown the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
  3. Add garlic and sauces: Stir minced garlic into the browned beef and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, mix in brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want a subtle heat. Stir well to combine all ingredients and enhance the sauce’s flavor.
  4. Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour this into the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, coating the beef evenly.
  5. Toss noodles in sauce: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the thickened sauce and beef. Toss everything together until the noodles are fully coated with the flavorful sauce.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions on top as a fresh garnish, then serve the Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles hot for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar and soy sauce to taste if you prefer a sweeter or saltier sauce.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional but add a nice spicy kick if desired.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the soy sauce with tamari or a gluten-free soy alternative and use gluten-free noodles.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
