Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring 1 cup salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in the jasmine rice, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Keep covered off the heat until ready to serve.
- Wash and dry the produce. Trim the Brussels sprouts and quarter them lengthwise. Peel the carrot, then slice it thinly on a diagonal. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the whites from the greens.
- Thinly slice the jalapeño, removing the ribs and seeds first if you want less heat. Peel and mince the ginger. Halve the lemon.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season the sirloin tips on all sides with salt and pepper. Sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side, then transfer the steak to a plate.
- Add the Brussels sprouts, carrot and as much jalapeño as you like to the same pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are just barely tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the scallion whites and minced ginger to the pan. Continue tossing until the vegetables have softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour in the soy sauce, return the steak to the pan and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Fluff the jasmine rice with a fork. Serve the stir-fry over the rice and sprinkle with the scallion greens.

For a milder stir-fry, remove the jalapeño ribs and seeds before slicing, or use only part of the pepper.
Sear the sirloin tips in a hot pan so they brown quickly before being returned to finish with the sauce.
Keep the scallion whites and greens separate: the whites cook into the stir-fry, while the greens add a fresh finish.
FAQ
Can I make this less spicy?
Yes. Remove the jalapeño ribs and seeds before slicing, and add only as much jalapeño as you like.
How do I know when the Brussels sprouts are ready?
They should be just tender after the first 5 to 6 minutes, then soften further once the scallion whites and ginger are added.
When should the steak go back into the pan?
Return the browned sirloin tips after the vegetables have softened, then toss with soy sauce and lemon until the steak reaches your preferred doneness.
