Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Dice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Chop the onion into small pieces and mince the garlic cloves. Keep them aside in a separate bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté them for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the ground beef into the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned evenly.
Season the beef with salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the bell peppers to soften yet still maintain some crispness.
Pour in the soy sauce and mix well, ensuring everything is coated evenly. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for added freshness and color.
Serve the ground beef with bell peppers hot. It pairs well with rice, pasta, or can be enjoyed on its own.
