Ingredients

Scale

Beef 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

Seasonings and Sauce

  • ½ cup soy sauce (can use low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

Optional

  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully melted and slightly bubbling.
  2. 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 the vegetables are softened.
  3. Add the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the pan with the vegetables. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it is fully browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. The vegetables should be tender by this point.
  4. Drain excess grease: Carefully drain any excess fat from the pan and return the beef and vegetables to the pan to continue cooking.
  5. Add seasonings and sauce: Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and heated through for another 1–2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Spoon the beef and pepper mixture over cooked rice, if desired, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Using low sodium soy sauce helps control salt level; adjust salt to taste.
  • Jalapeno can be omitted or adjusted for less heat.
  • Drain the excess fat to make the dish lighter and less greasy.
  • For Gluten Free adaptation, use gluten free soy sauce.
  • Can be served with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
