Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 1 pound ground beef
Sauces and Seasonings
- 1/2 cup soy sauce (can use low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- Cooked rice (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat Butter: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeno to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and fragrant.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan with the vegetables. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until the beef is browned and fully cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Drain Excess Fat: Carefully drain excess fat from the pan, then return the beef and vegetables to the stove.
- Add Sauces and Seasonings: Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture over cooked rice if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or carrots for variation.
- For a spicy kick, keep the seeds in the jalapeno or add hot sauce.
- If using uncooked rice, cook it separately according to package instructions and serve alongside the beef mixture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dish can be made ahead and reheated quickly in a microwave or stovetop.
