Ingredients

Scale
  • For the rice:
    • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • For the beef and peppers:
    • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (or thinly sliced beef)
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 small onion, sliced
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for spice)
  • For garnish:
    • Sliced green onions
    • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice:
    Prepare the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. Cook the beef:
    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Remove excess fat if necessary.
  3. Sauté the vegetables:
    Add the onion, garlic, and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Season the dish:
    Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix well, ensuring everything is coated in the sauce.
  5. Thicken the sauce (optional):
    If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional minute until the sauce thickens.
  6. Assemble the bowls:
    Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top with the beef and pepper mixture.
  7. Garnish and serve:
    Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Substitute ground beef with chicken, turkey, or plant-based meat for variation.
  • Add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or carrots for extra nutrients.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.
