Easy Mongolian Ground Beef

 

Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef

4 tsp. minced ginger

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 C low sodium soy sauce

1/2 C beef broth

1/2 C brown sugar

6 tbsp. hoisin sauce

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 box Linguine noodles 

4 green onions, diced for garnish

Toasted Sesame Seeds, for garnish

Directions

1) In a medium skillet with high sides , brown the ground beef along with the ginger and garlic until beef is cooked through. Use the back of a wooden spoon to make sure meat is broken up well. Drain any fat and return the pan to the stovetop. 

2) While the ground beef is cooking, get a pot of water started for your pasta. Be sure to salt the water well so that your noodles soak up that flavor. 

3) Combine the remaining ingredients - soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, pepper, and hoisin sauce in a small bowl and pour into the ground beef mixture. 

4) Let them saute in the pan for about 3 minutes to allow the ground beef to absorb the flavors. 

5) Once your pasta is done cooking, transfer the noodles to the ground beef mixture. Mix thoroughly and allow to cook for a couple of more minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.

6) Top with green onions and toasted sesame seeds for the perfect noodle dish!
