Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 tablespoons butter
  2. 1 medium onion, diced
  3. 1 green bell pepper, diced
  4. 1 red bell pepper, diced
  5. 1 jalapeño, diced
  6. 1 pound ground beef
  7. ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium optional)
  8. 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  9. 1 teaspoon salt
  10. 2 teaspoons black pepper
  11. Optional: Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter:

    • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Sauté Vegetables:

    • 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.
  3. Cook Beef:

    • 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.
  4. Season the Mixture:

    • 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.
  5. Serve Over Rice:

    • Serve the beef and pepper mixture over cooked rice, if desired, for a complete and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • For extra spice, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add red pepper flakes.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier option.
  • Substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a lighter protein choice.
