tips & techniques
Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Remove any husks and silks from the corn; cut the kernels off the cobs. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans; halve crosswise. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onions.

Cook the rice
2 Cook the rice

Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the mirin.

Cook the steaks
3 Cook the steaks

Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season on all sides with salt, pepper, and the weeknight hero spice blend. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes. Wipe out the pan. Once rested, find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the steaks; slice crosswise against the grain.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this.

Cook the chicken
4 Cook the chicken

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the quatre épices. Toss to coat. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

Cook the vegetables & finish the rice
5 Cook the vegetables & finish the rice

In the pan of reserved fond, heat the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the corn kernels, halved green beans, and sliced onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sautéed aromatics, ponzu sauce, and sesame seeds. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat. Leaving the rest in the pan, transfer half the cooked vegetables to the pot of cooked rice.
