Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (preferably lean)
  • 2 large bell peppers (red and green), sliced
  • 1 cup cooked rice (preferably jasmine or basmati)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • Sriracha or hot sauce (optional for spice)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions. Prepare the vegetables by slicing bell peppers and chopping onion. Mince garlic.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add minced garlic and chopped onion; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add sliced bell peppers and sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened but still crispy.
  5. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir to coat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes for flavors to meld.
  6. Add cooked rice and mix thoroughly to combine everything into a single pan.
  7. Transfer to serving bowls, garnish with chopped green onions, and drizzle with sriracha or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked rice for a quicker meal.
  • Adjust spice levels with additional hot sauce or chili flakes.
