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. Roast 17 to 19 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Transfer the roasted carrots to a plate. Wipe off the sheet pan.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients & make the sauce:

While the carrots roast, cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Halve the baguette. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. In a bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy glaze, and sliced white bottoms of the scallions. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.

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.
