This is a great weeknight meal that comes together quickly and is very customize-able if you have picky eaters to appease. I made it this using beef and green beans, but you could easily change the protein to chicken, or throw in some carrots, change out the beans for broccoli, or just go with some bok choy….it’s up to you!
Enjoy!

Ingredients
Make the Sauce:
- 4 Tbsp. Soy glaze
- 1-2 Tbsp. Sambal Oelek This is a ground chili paste that can be fiery, so start with the smaller amount and add more at the end after tasting.
- 4 Tbsp. Orange Marmalade
- 2 Tbsp. Rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. Sesame Oil
The Veggies
- 10 oz. pkg Green beans (or broccoli or carrots, or....) I use Haricot vert since they are smaller and more tender than regular green beans
- 1/2 Red cabbage
Now the meat
- 12 oz Thinly sliced beef If you can find pre-sliced street taco beef, that works well, or use a sirloin steak and slice it very thin
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
Noodles
- 8 oz Egg noodles Fettuccine works well here, or Wonton noodles if you can find them

Instructions
Make the Sauce
- Stir all the Sauce ingredients together, starting with the smaller amount of Sambal Oelek since it is pretty spicy. You can adjust this after you do some tasting if you like it spicier. Set the sauce aside.
Prep the Veggies
- Rinse the beans and trim the ends and cut into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch. If using broccoli, wash and trim into florets. For carrots, either trim into 1 inch matchsticks or slice into carrot coins. Remove the core from the red cabbage and slice thinly.
Cook the Beef
- Toss the beef with the cornstarch. Heat enough oil on med-high heat to barely cover the bottom of a non-stick skillet until it just begins to shimmer.
- Add the beef, not crowding the pan and allow it to cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes, or until it has a brown crust on bottom. If you need to cook the beef in two batches to keep from crowding the pan, do so, otherwise it won't brown well and will steam.
- Toss in the sliced cabbage and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat.
Cook the Green Beans and Pasta
- While the beef and cabbage cook, bring a large pot of water to boil.
- Add a small handful of salt to the boiling water.
- Add green beans (or broccoli and/or carrots) and blanch for 3 min.
- Remove veggies and add to beef and cabbage.
- Add pasta to boiling water you just removed the beans from and cook according to package directions.
- Drain and add to beef and veggies along with sauce.
- Toss and serve!
