  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 4 tsp minced ginger
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Main

  • 1 12 ounce box of Linguine Noodles

Garnish

  • 4 green onions, diced
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a medium high-sided skillet on the stovetop, brown the ground beef with minced ginger and garlic until fully cooked. Use the back of a wooden spoon to break up the meat evenly. Drain any excess fat and return the pan to the stove.
  2. Boil the Pasta: While the beef cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil to cook the linguine noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the cooked ground beef.
  4. Simmer to Absorb Flavors: Let the sauce and beef mixture sauté together for about 3 minutes on medium heat, allowing the beef to soak up the flavors and the sauce to meld.
  5. Combine Pasta and Beef: Once the noodles are cooked and drained, add them directly to the skillet with the beef and sauce. Toss thoroughly and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the sauce thicken and coat the noodles evenly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and top with diced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. Serve immediately for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and make the dish lighter.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra texture, add steamed or stir-fried vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli.
  • To keep noodles from sticking, reserve a cup of pasta water before draining and add a splash if needed when tossing the noodles with the sauce.
  • Garnishes like fresh cilantro or chopped peanuts can also enhance flavor and presentation.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of steamed greens or a light Asian salad.
