Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ground beef or thinly sliced beef
  • Red bell pepper diced
  • Green bell pepper diced
  • Small onion diced
  • Cooked white or brown rice
  • Soy sauce
  • Hoisin sauce
  • Sesame oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Ground ginger

Method
 

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Push the beef to one side, add sesame oil, and sauté the bell peppers and onions until slightly softened.
  3. Stir in garlic powder and ground ginger, then mix everything together.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and hoisin sauce, then pour it over the beef mixture.
  5. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well coated.
  6. 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.
