Wash and dry all produce. Bring a #large pot{} of salted water to a boil. Thinly slice @persian cucumber{1}. Toss with @white wine vinegar{1%tbsp}, ½ tsp @sugar{5%tsp}, and a pinch of @salt{1%tsp} in a #small bowl{} and set aside to marinate. Mince half the @garlic{2%cloves}. Trim, then thinly slice @scallions{2}, keeping greens and whites separate. Halve @lime{1}; cut one half into wedges.

Pat @beef stir-fry{8%oz} dry with a paper towel. In a #bowl{}, combine beef, ½ tsp @thai seasoning blend{1%tsp}, remaining minced garlic, 1½ tsp @soy sauce{3%tsp}, and 1½ tsp sugar. Season with salt and pepper.

Once water is boiling, add @rice noodles{4%oz} to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente ~{15%minutes} to ~{18%minutes}. Drain, then rinse under cold water until cool to the touch. Toss thoroughly to remove excess moisture and set aside.

Heat a drizzle of @vegetable oil{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked to desired doneness ~{4%minutes} to ~{5%minutes}. Remove from pan and set aside. Wash out pan and return to stove over medium heat. Add a large drizzle of oil, remaining garlic, and scallion whites to pan. Cook, tossing, until fragrant ~{1%minute}.

Reduce heat to low and stir in @peanut butter{2%tbsp}. Once combined, slowly whisk in ½ cup warm @water{½%cup}, then stir in remaining soy sauce, 3 tsp sugar, and juice from lime half. Taste and add more lime juice, if desired. Transfer half the sauce to another #small bowl{}, then add drained and rinsed noodles to pan and toss to coat in the rest of the sauce. Divide noodles between bowls.

Remove cucumber from vinegar. Arrange beef, cucumber, and half the @shredded carrots{1%cup} on top (use the rest of the carrots as you like). Drizzle remaining peanut sauce over beef. Tear @cilantro{¼%cup} leaves from stems and scatter over. Sprinkle with scallion greens. Drizzle with @sriracha{1%tsp} to taste. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
