5m prep time 10m cook time

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 red pepper flake, optional 10 oz linguine 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons water 4 green onions, sliced

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef until no longer pink. Drain fat as needed, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, red pepper flake, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water and add to ground beef. Stir and bring to a gentle boil. Once sauce has thickened, add noodles and stir to combine. Let noodles sit in sauce 2-3 minutes to absorb some flavor. Top with green onions and serve. Enjoy!
