Description

A fast, flavorful beef pepper rice bowl made with tender ground beef, colorful peppers, onions, and a savory soy-based seasoning—perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • ½ cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • Cooked rice of your choice


Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart and cook until browned. Drain excess grease and return to the skillet.
  3. Pour soy sauce over the mixture. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook 3–5 minutes to blend flavors.
  4. Serve over warm cooked rice. Top with extra black pepper, green onions, or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Cut vegetables evenly, drain grease for a lighter dish, and taste before adding salt since soy sauce is already salty.
