Directions:

Cook the Pasta: Begin 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.
Add Aromatics and Sauces: Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, add the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flake. Stir to combine.
Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth and stir into the skillet. Bring to a gentle boil; the sauce will thicken.
Combine with Noodles: Toss the cooked noodles in the skillet, ensuring they are fully coated with the sauce. Allow to simmer together for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the noodles and serve hot.
