Description

This Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles dish is a quick and flavorful meal combining savory ground beef, a rich and slightly sweet sauce, and tender linguine. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner that’s both satisfying and easy to make.


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

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
  3. 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, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Combine with Noodles: Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss the noodles in the sauce until they are well coated.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra texture and nutrition.
