How to Make Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles:
Step 1: Cook Noodles
Prepare the linguini according to package directions until al dente or your preferred texture. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2: Brown Beef
In a large skillet or wok, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease to keep the dish from becoming too oily.
Step 3: Sauté Aromatics
Add the ginger paste and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for about a minute, just until fragrant—it’ll start smelling amazing.
Step 4: Create the Sauce
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and add the brown sugar. Season with pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Stir well until the sugar dissolves and the flavors combine.
Step 5: Thicken Sauce
Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 6: Combine and Serve
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until they’re fully coated with the beef and sauce mixture. Serve hot, and for a restaurant-style finish, sprinkle with chopped green onions and a few sesame seeds. This simple one-pan meal is packed with flavor, easy to make, and sure to become a family favorite!
