Main ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef pick one with a bit of fat for flavor
  • 5 cloves garlic minced real fine

  • ¼ cup beef broth for rich broth depth
  • cup soy sauce salty backbone

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper optional pinch of red pepper flake

Instructions

  • First up, cook your linguine on the stove like the package says. Drain it well and set it aside so it doesn’t get mushy while you make the beef.
  • In the pressure cooker, brown that ground beef over medium-high. Stir it around so it doesn’t clump, you want it nice and crumbly.
  • Add minced garlic next and sauté about 1 to 2 minutes until you can smell its full flavor. Don’t burn it or it’ll get bitter.
  • Now stir in your brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. This mix is gonna build your sauce.
  • Set the cooker to pressure cook with a slow release for 5 to 7 minutes. This part thickens the sauce and lets flavors blend real good.
  • When the timer pops, you can do a quick release to stop the cooking fast. Just be careful around that steam, it’s hot.
  • Stir in your cornstarch slurry and cook on sauté for a couple of mins until sauce thickens more. This step is key for that clutch sticky texture.
  • Last step, toss in your cooked linguine and the sliced green onions. Mix it all until noodles soak up the sauce and serve warm. You got a plate full of comforting, hearty noodles ready to dive into.

Notes

Serve warm for best texture and flavor. Optionally garnish with additional green onions for a fresh finish.
