Pairing beef with peanut sauce is reminiscent of satay, a dish popular in Southeast Asian, but here the meat is cooked on the stovetop rather than grilled and then served with tender rice noodles.

Ingredients

8 ounces stir-fry rice noodles

1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 pound ground beef sirloin

2 tablespoons roasted peanut oil (or 1 tablespoon each sesame oil and vegetable oil) 

3 large shallots, thinly sliced

1 9-ounce package broccoli slaw

1 teaspoon Sriracha, plus more for serving

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Put the noodles in a bowl; cover with warm water and soak at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the beef and mix with a spoon to combine.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the broccoli slaw and cook, stirring, until it starts wilting, about 3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in the skillet, then add the beef mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 7 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, gently stir the noodles to separate. Reserve 1/2 cup soaking water, then drain the noodles. Return the vegetables to the skillet with the beef and stir to combine. Add the noodles, the reserved soaking water and the Sriracha. Cook, gently tossing, until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Top each serving with the cilantro; serve with lime wedges and more Sriracha.

Solid base, and need to amp up spice and seasoning as stated by others (more ginger, sriracha, add garlic etc). Subbed shiratake noodles for stir fry noodles to reduce carbs/calories and worked well!
