Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium optional)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- Optional: Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat for a leaner dish.
- Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the beef and pepper mixture over cooked rice for a hearty and flavorful meal, if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer a milder dish, omit the jalapeño or remove the seeds before adding it to the skillet.
- For a healthier option, use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to enhance the dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
