  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Rice and Broth

  • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups beef broth

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste

Garnish

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of uncooked jasmine rice with 2 cups of beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
  2. Cooking the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Sautéing the Vegetables: Add sliced bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peppers are softened and the garlic fragrant.
  4. Combining Ingredients: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet with beef and vegetables. Pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly and heat for 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  5. Final Touches: Serve the mixture in bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Optionally add sesame seeds or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor. Enjoy your flavorful Beef Pepper Rice Bowl!

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for best flavor and appearance.
