Equipment I Used
How to Make It
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, rinse under cool water to prevent sticking, and set aside.
Brown the Ground Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s browned and no longer pink. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add the Garlic
Once the beef is browned, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the beef and stir to combine.
Thicken the Sauce
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Stir this slurry into the skillet with the beef and sauce. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your liking.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked linguine and sliced green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and the green onions are well distributed.
Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Mongolian-Style Beef Noodles immediately. Enjoy this savory, satisfying dish!
