Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, diced

Protein

  • 1 pound ground beef

Seasonings & Others

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • Cooked rice (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat Butter: Heat a large pan over medium heat and melt the butter until fully liquified and warm.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften and become slightly translucent.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan with the vegetables. Cook thoroughly, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until it is fully browned and the vegetables are tender.
  4. Drain Excess Grease: Carefully drain any excess grease from the pan to avoid a greasy final dish, then return the beef and vegetable mixture to the pan.
  5. Season the Mixture: Stir in the low sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and heated through.
  6. Serve: Serve the beef and pepper mixture hot, over cooked rice if desired. Enjoy your delicious rice bowl!

Notes

  • Use low sodium soy sauce to control salt content in the dish.
  • Jalapeño can be omitted or adjusted to taste for spice preference.
  • For a lower-fat version, use lean ground beef or ground turkey and reduce the butter to 1 tablespoon or substitute with an oil spray.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
