Directions:
Cook the Pasta: Start by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling water. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat as needed to keep the dish light and flavorful.
Add Aromatics and Sauces: Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, pour in the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine all the delicious flavors.
Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the skillet with the beef and sauce. Allow it to simmer gently until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
