Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of beef broth to a boil. Add jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Add ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  5. Stir in bell peppers and garlic. Cook for 5 more minutes, until peppers are tender.
  6. Add cooked rice to the skillet, followed by soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Mix well.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes more, until everything is heated through.
  8. Serve in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add extra vegetables like corn, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • Use pre-cooked or leftover rice to speed things up.
  • Spice it up with sriracha, chili flakes, or cayenne pepper.
  • Great for meal prep—stores and reheats well.
