Bring rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook forty-five minutes, until tender. Let stand, covered, for five 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 seven minutes. Serve over rice. Top with mint leaves and red-chili flakes. Serve with lime wedges.
