Ingredients

1 cup short-grain brown rice

2 cups water

3 scallions, thinly sliced

8 ounces grass-fed sirloin steak, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

2 zucchini, halved and cut into spears

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes

1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving

Preparation

Bring rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook 45 minutes, until tender. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Stir in scallions.

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread beef on skewers. Season beef and zucchini with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Grill, turning, until cooked through and blackened in parts, about 6 to 8 minutes. Serve over rice. Top with mint leaves and red chile flakes. Serve with lime wedges.
