Ingredients
- 1/8 cup smooth natural peanut butter
- 1/6 cup orange juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound sirloin steak, trimmed and thinly sliced (see Tip)
- 1/2 small head Savoy cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 medium carrots, grated
- 1/8 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts, (optional)
Directions
-
Whisk peanut butter, orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth.
-
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add steak and cook, stirring, until browned and barely pink in the middle, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
-
Reduce heat to medium. Swirl in the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add cabbage and 2 tablespoons water; cook, stirring, until beginning to wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Add carrots (and more water if necessary to prevent sticking or burning) and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 3 minutes more. Return the steak and any accumulated juices to the pan, then pour in the peanut sauce and toss to combine. Serve sprinkled with peanuts (if using).
