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 nutty sesame oil and seeds.
