Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles
Ingredients
- 1-pound lean ground beef
- 4 tsp. ginger, minced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 6 tbsp. hoisin sauce
- ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- One 12-ounce box of linguine noodles
- 4 green onions, diced, for garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (see note)
Instructions
- Using the stovetop and a medium skillet with high sides, brown the ground beef, ginger and garlic until beef is cooked through.
- Use the back of a wooden spoon to make sure meat is well broken up.
- Drain excess fat and return the pan to the stovetop.
- While the ground beef is cooking, get a pot of water started for the pasta noodles; salt the water well so that the noodles soak up that flavor.
- In a small dish, combine the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, pepper and hoisin sauce; pour into ground beef mixture.
- Sauté in the pan for about 3 minutes to allow the ground beef to absorb the flavors.
- Once the pasta is done cooking, transfer the noodles to the ground beef mixture.
- Mix thoroughly and allow to cook for a couple minutes more to allow the sauce to thicken.
- Remove from the stovetop; top with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
