Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

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.
