👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the rice

Cook the rice according to package instructions and keep warm.

2. Cook the beef

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

3. Add aromatics

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and softened.

4. Cook the peppers

Stir in the red and green bell peppers. Cook for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.

5. Season the dish

Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, brown sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly saucy.

6. Serve

Spoon the beef and pepper mixture over warm rice. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
