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

Rice and Broth

  • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups beef broth

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

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of uncooked jasmine rice and 2 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff 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 the 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 excess fat to keep the dish light.
  3. Sautéing the Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peppers soften and garlic is fragrant, enhancing the dish with vibrant colors and flavors.
  4. Combining Ingredients: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients and heat through for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Final Touches: Spoon the beef and rice mixture into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, colorful finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Beef Pepper Rice Bowl!

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, pork, or tofu for different protein options.
  • Adding extra vegetables like zucchini, corn, or mushrooms can boost flavor and nutrition.
  • Drain excess fat after cooking the beef to reduce calories and make the dish lighter.
