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

Instructions

  1. Cook the Linguine: Begin by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook it until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
  3. Add Garlic and Sauce Ingredients: Add the minced garlic to the cooked beef and sauté 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. Mix well to combine all the flavors thoroughly.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, prepare a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Toss Noodles in Sauce: Add the cooked linguine noodles to the skillet. Toss well so the noodles are evenly coated with the thickened sauce and beef mixture.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, garnish the dish with sliced green onions, and serve hot for a comforting and tasty meal.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add the optional red pepper flakes to taste.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Make sure to drain excess fat from the cooked beef to prevent the dish from becoming greasy.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch slurry slightly but add gradually to avoid clumping.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
