Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 3 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb linguine noodles (or Asian-style rice noodles)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

Cook the Ground Beef:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, ginger paste, and garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef as it cooks, until it’s crumbled and fully browned. Once cooked, drain off any excess grease.

Cook the Noodles:

  • In a separate pot, bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add the linguine noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.

Combine Beef and Sauce:

  • Pour the sauce over the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir well to coat the beef and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Combine Noodles and Beef Mixture:

  • Add the cooked, drained noodles to the skillet with the beef sauce mixture. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the noodles are well coated with the sauce.

Serve:

  • Cook on medium-high heat, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened further. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and sesame seeds.

    NOTES:

    • Spicy Version: For extra heat, double the red pepper flakes or add a tablespoon of Sriracha sauce.
    • Noodles: You can use traditional linguine or opt for wider Asian rice noodles.
    • Lower Sodium: Use reduced-sodium soy sauce if you’re watching your sodium intake.
