Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Push the beef to one side, add sesame oil, and sauté the bell peppers and onions until slightly softened.

- Divide the cooked rice into bowls, top with the beef and pepper mixture, and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use lean beef – If using ground beef, choose 90% lean beef to reduce excess grease.
- Keep peppers crisp – Sauté for just a few minutes to maintain their fresh texture and vibrant color.
- Customize the sauce – Add a dash of sriracha or chili flakes for spice, or a splash of oyster sauce for extra umami.
- Storage – Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, and reheat gently before serving.
