Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 jalapeno
Seasonings and Condiments:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
Optional:
- Rice
Instructions
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium temperature, carefully sautéing diced onions, red and green bell peppers, and jalapeño for approximately 5 minutes until vegetables become tender and aromatic, ensuring gentle cooking to prevent burning.
- Relocate softened vegetables to one side of the skillet, then introduce ground beef into the open space, methodically breaking meat into smaller fragments and browning thoroughly for 7-10 minutes until achieving a rich, even coloration.
- Drain excess liquid from beef if necessary, then reintegrate sautéed vegetables with the meat in the central cooking area, creating a harmonious mixture.
- Season the beef and vegetable combination with soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring comprehensively to distribute flavors evenly and allow ingredients to meld for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the prepared beef and pepper mixture atop cooked rice, creating a robust and flavorful rice bowl that can alternatively be served over quinoa or cauliflower rice for varied dietary preferences.
Notes
- Perfectly sauté vegetables by using medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even softening.
- Drain excess liquid from ground beef to achieve a nice golden-brown color and prevent soggy texture.
- Allow flavors to meld together by letting the beef and vegetable mixture simmer briefly after adding seasonings.
