Spicy Fried Cauliflower Rice with Flank Steak, Zucchini & Green OnionSpicy Fried Cauliflower Rice with Flank Steak, Zucchini & Green Onion — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 11 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ medium heads cauliflower

1.02 kg flank steaks

3 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

2 small bunches green onions (scallions)

3 jalapeño peppers

3 medium zucchini squash

black pepper

salt

soy sauce

toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Pat the steak dry with paper towels, place on a cutting board, and slice crosswise into thin strips. Place in a medium bowl, add soy sauce, and stir to coat.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add steak strips and cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until desired doneness, 1-2 minutes more. Remove to a plate. (Reserve pot and cooking juices for later use.)

Meanwhile, using a clean cutting board, cut each cauliflower head into quarters; using a box grater, hold the stem end of the cauliflower and coarsely grate. (Alternatively, transfer cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor; pulse until rice-like in consistency.) Place in a large bowl.

Trim and coarsely grate zucchini. Using your hands, gently squeeze to remove excess water, then add to the bowl with the cauliflower.

Trim and cut green onions crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Add to the bowl.

Return the pot (with cooking juices) to medium-high heat, add more oil, and swirl to coat the bottom. Add cauliflower, zucchini, green onion, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is soft and starting to brown, 6-7 minutes.

Meanwhile, quarter jalapeño peppers lengthwise; seed and remove ribs with a spoon to reduce spice level, then mince. Place in a clean medium bowl. (Be careful with jalapeños; do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing.)

Peel and mince ginger and garlic. Add both to the bowl with the jalapeño, along with soy sauce, and stir to combine.

When the cauliflower is done, return steak strips (with any accumulated juices) to the pot. Add the jalapeño mixture and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until warmed through and fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

To serve, divide fried cauliflower rice between plates or bowls. Enjoy!
