Instructions

  1. In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until Step 4.
  2. While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Trim scallions and slice whites into 2-inch batons; thinly slice greens. Halve, core and cut bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Remove strings from snap peas if necessary. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Sriracha. Set aside.
  3. Pat steak very dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add steak and cook to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer steak to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.
  4. Uncover rice (this allows it to dry out a bit before using in Step 6). Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for steak over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and bell pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until veggies begin to soften, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add snap peas, zucchini and carrots; cook, stirring, until veggies are browned and tender, 2-3 minutes more.
  5. Meanwhile, rinse shrimp under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Add a drizzle of oil to pan with veggies. Add shrimp; cook until opaque and cooked through, 2-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, cook veggies and shrimp in separate large pans or in batches.)
  6. To pan with veggies and shrimp, stir in rice and stir-fry sauce. Cook until everything is coated in sauce, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
  7. Thinly slice steak against the grain. Divide stir-fry between plates. Top with steak, spicy mayo, sweet soy glaze, sesame seeds and scallion greens. Serve.

Recipe Tips

For best results, pat the steak very dry before searing to get a nice crust.

Cook the rice just until tender and keep it covered off heat to allow it to steam and dry slightly.

Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.

FAQ

Can I use a different cut of steak?

Yes, you can substitute sirloin, flank steak or ribeye. Adjust cooking time based on thickness.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

It’s best served fresh, but you can prep the vegetables and sauce in advance. Cook the rice and steak just before serving.

Is there a substitute for sweet soy glaze?

You can mix equal parts soy sauce and honey or brown sugar with a splash of rice vinegar.
