Q&A: Jeffrey Wright considers his career choices

I am constantly on the hunt for meals that are not only fast but also simply delicious. Today, I found the perfect meal that falls into both of those categories: beef stroganoff stir-fry. This dinner is so easy and it takes less than 30 minutes to create! Just quickly saute chopped flank steak and then a bit of red onion and some cremini mushrooms (they add a lovely layer of earthiness to the finished dish). Serve everything up on top of buttered egg noodles with a dollop of sour cream and -- voila! -- dinner is done."

1. Toss steak with paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large skillet or wok over high. Add oil then steak in an even layer and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl.

2. Add onion and mushrooms to pan and cook until any liquid produced has evaporated and mushrooms are browned, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add steak along with any accumulated juices and stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Serve with noodles and sour cream.
