Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or your favorite protein)
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color you prefer)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked rice (brown, white, or cauliflower for low-carb)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Steps to Cook Your Beef and Pepper Rice Bowl

  1. Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. If the oil begins to shimmer, it’s game time!
  2. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until they soften and become fragrant—about 2-3 minutes. A little teasing aroma already, huh?
  3. Crank up the flavor by adding in the ground beef. Cook until it’s browned, breaking it apart as you go (nobody likes clumpy beef!).
  4. When the beef is cooked through, toss in the sliced bell pepper and soy sauce, stirring everything to combine. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes—it’s where the magic happens!
  5. Gently fold in your cooked rice, allowing it to warm through and soak up all the tasty juices. Give it a good taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Finally, garnish with green onions if you’re feeling fancy. Serve hot and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

Here are a few extra nuggets of wisdom while you’re cooking:

  • Don’t have bell peppers? No problem! Use any veggies you have on hand—zucchini, broccoli, or snap peas work beautifully, too.
  • Feel free to swap out the beef for turkey, chicken, or even tofu. Just remember, your protein choice will change the cooking time slightly.
  • If your sauce looks a bit lumpy, don’t worry—it’s all part of the magic! Just give it a stir, and it’ll be perfect.
