Description

A savory and colorful Beef and Pepper Rice Bowl featuring tender ground beef sautéed with a vibrant mix of bell peppers, jalapeño, and onions, seasoned perfectly with soy sauce and spices. This quick and easy dish is ideal for a satisfying weeknight dinner served over rice.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium optional)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

To Serve

  • Cooked rice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Heat a large pan over medium heat and melt the butter until fully melted and shimmering.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to release their aromas.
  3. Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the pan with the vegetables. Stir and break up the meat to cook evenly. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the vegetables are tender.
  4. Drain excess grease: Carefully drain any excess fat or grease from the pan to reduce greasiness, then return the beef and vegetable mixture to the pan.
  5. Season the mixture: Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients and seasonings are evenly combined and heated through.
  6. Serve: Serve the warm beef and pepper mixture hot over cooked rice, if desired. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful rice bowl!

Notes

  • Adjust the level of jalapeño to your preferred spice tolerance, or omit for a milder dish.
  • Using low sodium soy sauce helps control the salt content, but you can use regular soy sauce for more flavor.
  • Drain excess grease carefully to keep the dish from becoming too oily.
  • For a low-carb option, serve this mixture without rice and with cauliflower rice or a side salad.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
