From the Test Kitchen

In this dish, toasty baguettes are topped with savory beef and mushrooms packed with flavor from our easy take on tangy-sweet steak sauce. A side of ranch dressing mixed with Calabrian chile paste makes an irresistible dipping sauce for roasted carrots.

1 Prepare & roast the carrots:

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots. Halve crosswise, then quarter lengthwise. Place the carrot pieces on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer.

3 Cook the beef & mushrooms:

While the carrots continue to roast, pat the beef dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. In a medium pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned beef and mushroom pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sauce and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and the beef is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
