Spice up dinner with this must-taste mix of gingered sirloin, rice, and snaps in less than a half-hour — chopsticks are optional.

Ingredients

1 c. long-grain white rice
1 lb. sirloin steak
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. vegetable oil
12 oz. snap peas
1 tbsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. red-pepper flakes
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 scallions

Instructions

In a medium saucepan with a lid, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Add rice; return to a boil. Stir once, and reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Ten minutes before rice is done, place steak in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook half the steak until browned on one side, 1 to 2 minutes (steak will cook further in step 3); transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining beef.
Add snap peas, white part of scallions, ginger, red-pepper flakes, and 3/4 cup water to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until snap peas turn bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Return steak to skillet until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and mix in green part of scallions and lime juice. Serve with rice.
