INGREDIENTS:
For the Noodles:
8 oz linguine or any type of noodles you prefer
Salt to taste
For the Beef and Sauce:
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 black pepper
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water (cold, for cornstarch slurry)
4 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Boil Water: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
Cook the Pasta: Drop in 8 oz of linguine into the boiling water. Cook them according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
Drain: Drain the pasta once cooked, and reserve.
Step 2: Prepare the Beef and Sauce
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb of ground beef and sauté for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until thoroughly browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add Garlic: Add 5 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Take care not to burn the garlic.
Combine Sauce Ingredients: Into the skillet add the following: 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup beef broth, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Stir to mix all the ingredients together.
Thicken the Sauce: In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and dissolve. Into the skillet, stir in the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly. You want the sauce to come to a very gentle boil, and let the sauce thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3: Combine Noodles and Sauce
Add Noodles: Transfer the drained linguine to the skillet with the sauce-beef mixture. Toss the noodles with the sauce until they are evenly sauced and coated with the beef.
Let Sit: Let the noodles sit in the skillet for about 2–3 minutes at a time, so they soak up more flavor.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Garnish: Top with 4 sliced green onions.
Serve Immediately: Serve hot and enjoy the rich flavors of Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles.
TIPS:
Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic adds a burst of flavor to the dish.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot to ensure the steak and potatoes are at their peak flavor and texture.
