Description
A quick and deeply satisfying dish featuring tender ground beef and silky noodles coated in a sweet-savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 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
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic in the last 2 minutes and drain excess fat if desired.
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
- Add brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the beef mixture. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Whisk together cornstarch and ¼ cup water to create a slurry, then pour into the beef mixture, stirring constantly. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
- Toss the cooked noodles in the skillet with the beef sauce until evenly coated. Let sit off heat for 1–2 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
For lower sweetness, reduce brown sugar to ¼ cup. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free pasta. Store in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
