Orange Beef & Noodles with Sesame Peanuts

Step 1

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. Using a damp paper towel, gently brush off any dirt from the mushrooms; thinly slice. Wash and dry the cabbage; cut out and discard the core, then 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 bowl. Add the sesame seeds and remaining sesame oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat.

2 Cook the beef & vegetables: In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced mushrooms in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, move the mushrooms to one side of the pan. Add the beef to the other side; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil. 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 cooked through. Turn off the heat.
