Mongolian Beef and Noodles

Step 1

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef.  Break up the beef as it browns.  Then drain off any excess grease.  Add in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic.

Step 2

While the beef is cooking, prepare the noodles based on the package instructions.  Rinse with cold water and set aside.

Step 3

Add the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, pepper and red pepper flakes to the skillet with the beef.  Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 4

Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of cold water.  Stir until it’s dissolved and then stir this mixture into the skillet as well.  Bring to a low boil.  Heat until the sauce has thickened and then stir in the cooked noodles.  Toss to combine the noodles thoroughly with the sauce and the meat mixture.

Step 5

Remove the pan from the heat but allow the noodles to sit in the sauce mixture for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.  Then serve warm topped with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds.  Enjoy!
