Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions in boiling salted water. Stir occasionally and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly until fragrant.
  4. Introduce brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour into the skillet, stirring constantly, and allow the sauce to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Toss the drained linguine into the skillet with the beef and sauce. Mix until noodles are thoroughly coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  7. Plate the Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles and top with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
