Ingredients
- 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 of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 10 oz linguine
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
1. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
3. Add minced garlic to the beef and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well.

6. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
You can add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra texture and nutrition.
