A comforting bowl of Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles, packed with flavor and perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup low-sodium beef broth
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 8 oz linguine or fettuccine noodles
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
- 4 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking to unleash their flavors.
- Prepare the noodles: While the beef cooks, boil the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside for later.
- Make the sauce: Drain any excess fat from the beef. Stir in the brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine everything into a delightful sauce.
- Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour this into the beef mixture, stirring constantly. Bring everything to a simmer and let it thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine noodles and beef: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and gently toss them in the sauce to ensure they’re beautifully coated. Let the noodles sit for 2-3 minutes to soak up all those glorious flavors.
- Garnish and serve: Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions. Each bite is a wonderful combination of sweet and savory that feels just like home.
