with Thinly Sliced Beef

From the Test Kitchen

In this quick-cooking dish, we’re bringing together beef, sautéed mushrooms and cabbage, and delightfully chewy noodles with an irresistible sauce made with orange marmalade, soy sauce, sesame oil, and more for a burst of sweet citrus that’s perfectly tempered by umami (or savory) flavors. For a bit of crunch, we’re garnishing it all with roasted peanuts tossed with more nutty sesame oil and seeds.

tips & techniques

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. In a bowl, combine the orange marmalade, soy sauce, vinegar, sweet chili sauce, and half the sesame oil. Roughly chop the peanuts; place in a separate bowl. Add the sesame seeds and remaining sesame oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat.

2 Cook the beef & vegetables

Separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, move the mushrooms to one side of the pan. Add the seasoned beef in an even layer to the other side. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Stir the beef and mushrooms to combine. Add the sliced cabbage; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cabbage is softened and the beef is just cooked through. Turn off the heat.

3 Cook the noodles

Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly.

4 Finish the noodles & serve your dish

Add the cooked noodles and sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) to the pan of cooked beef and vegetables. Stir to thoroughly combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished beef and noodles topped with the sesame peanuts. Enjoy!
