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 red pepper flakes optional
  • 10 oz linguine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 green onions sliced

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Mix cornstarch with water, add to the skillet, and bring to a gentle boil until the sauce thickens.
  • Add cooked noodles and toss well to coat. Let the Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles sit for 2–3 minutes to absorb the sauce.
  • Garnish with green onions and serve warm.

Notes

Serve with steamed broccoli or a simple cucumber salad for a complete meal. This dish also works great for meal prep lunches.
