Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, chopped red bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by rinsing the brown rice under cold water. In a medium pot, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped red bell pepper, allowing it to cook until just tender, approximately 3 minutes.
Mix in the low sodium soy sauce, black pepper, and ground ginger. Combine well and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the beef and pepper mixture. Toss everything together until well combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and fresh parsley.
Serve the savory beef and rice mixture hot in bowls, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
