  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz linguine or fettuccine noodles
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 green onions (sliced)

  1. 1

    In a skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat until browned, 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic during last 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Drain excess fat from beef. Add brown sugar, broth, soy sauce, hoisin, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well.
