Description
A quick and filling one-pan dish featuring ground beef and linguine coated in a glossy sauce of soy, hoisin, and brown sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 10 oz linguine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling, salted water, then drain and set aside.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces, then drain excess fat if desired.
- Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Pour in the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using; stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Whisk the cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl until smooth, then stir this mixture into the skillet and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Combine the cooked and drained linguine with the beef and sauce, tossing thoroughly until the noodles are fully coated, and simmer together for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Finish by tasting and adjusting seasoning if needed, sprinkle the sliced green onions over the noodles, and serve hot.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes. Adjust the seasoning with low-sodium soy sauce if watching salt intake.
