Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Rice and Seasonings

  • 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

Garnish

  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of uncooked jasmine rice with 2 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
  2. Cooking the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook and stir occasionally until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat to keep the dish light.
  3. Sautéing the Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes until peppers are softened and garlic is fragrant.
  4. Combining Ingredients: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and salt to taste. Mix well and heat through for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure flavors meld.
  5. Final Touches: Spoon the mixture into serving bowls and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh and colorful finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
