Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground or sliced beef
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 small onion
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
- 2 green onions (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Follow the instructions on the rice package. Keep it warm and fluffy while you prepare the rest.
- Brown the Beef: In a skillet or wok over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Once done, remove the beef and set it aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics and Veggies: In the same pan, add sesame oil. Toss in garlic, ginger, and onions. Sauté until the kitchen smells amazing and the onions start to soften. Add bell peppers and cook for another few minutes until they’re tender but still a bit crisp.
- Bring It All Together: Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and a splash of water or broth. If you like a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until everything is coated and glossy.
- Assemble Your Bowl: Spoon the rice into bowls. Top generously with the beef and pepper mixture. Sprinkle with chopped green onions if using.
- Serve and Enjoy: Dig in while it’s hot!
