Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 16 oz box of linguine
Sauce Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 2/3 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Garnish
- Green onion, optional
Instructions
- Cook the noodles. Boil the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside to keep warm.
- Brown the ground beef. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sauce ingredients. Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, ground ginger, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper into the skillet with the beef. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly, around 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend flavors.
- Combine noodles and sauce. Add the cooked linguine into the skillet, tossing well to ensure every strand of noodle is coated evenly with the savory beef and sauce mixture.
- Garnish and serve. If desired, sprinkle sliced green onions on top for a fresh, bright finish. Serve the dish hot immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a more authentic touch, try swapping linguine for rice noodles and using flank steak instead of ground beef.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes quantity to control the spiciness level to your preference.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- Consider adding steamed vegetables like bok choy or bell peppers to increase the nutritional value and add color.
