Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 pound beef strips (such as flank steak or sirloin) Choose cuts for tenderness.
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Prepare it in advance so it's warm and fluffy when it's time to eat.
  2. While the rice is cooking, slice the beef into thin strips and chop the bell peppers and onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger if using.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips to the pan, season with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir-fry the beef until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and stir everything together, allowing it to heat through for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
  5. Layer the cooked rice in bowls, then top with the beef and pepper mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy your delicious Beef and Pepper Rice Bowl!

Notes

Beef Selection: Choose cuts like flank steak or sirloin for tenderness. Veggie Variations: Mix in other veggies like broccoli, snap peas, or carrots for variation. Make it Your Own: Add sesame oil or chili paste for an extra kick! Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the beef for a perfect sear.
