Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in top position. Wash and dry produce. Mince or grate garlic. Trim zucchini and slice into ½-inch rounds. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, 1 tsp ketchup, 1 tsp fry seasoning, ½ tsp sugar and sriracha to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in rice, ¾ cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
  3. While rice cooks, toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle sesame seeds over each round. Roast on top rack until tender and sesame seeds are lightly browned, 14-16 minutes. If needed, broil 1-2 minutes for extra toast.
  4. Pat steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.
  5. Pat shrimp dry and season with remaining fry seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. Pour sweet soy glaze into a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave until warm, about 1 minute. Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice steak against the grain. Divide rice, zucchini, steak and shrimp among plates. Drizzle steak with sweet soy glaze and sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds. Serve with spicy special sauce.

Recipe Tips

Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

For extra crispy shrimp, pat them very dry before seasoning.

If you can’t find fry seasoning, substitute with a mix of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and a pinch of cayenne.

FAQ

Can I use a different cut of steak?

Yes, flank steak or sirloin work well. Adjust cooking time as needed.

How can I make the spicy sauce less hot?

Reduce or omit the sriracha or add a bit more mayonnaise to mellow the heat.

Can I prepare any components ahead?

You can cook the rice and make the sauce up to a day in advance. Reheat rice with a splash of water.
