Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers, salt, black pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  5. While the beef and peppers are cooking, prepare the rice. In a separate pot, bring the beef broth to a boil. Add the uncooked rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the soy sauce.
  7. To serve, place a scoop of rice in a bowl and top with the beef and pepper mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
