Method
- Cook the Jasmine Rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice with 2 cups beef broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Cook the Beef. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, for 5–7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté the Bell Peppers and Garlic. Add the sliced bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are slightly softened and the garlic is fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients. Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and salt to taste. Mix well to combine all flavors. Heat through for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve. Spoon the beef and pepper rice mixture into bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately. Optional: sprinkle sesame seeds or a squeeze of lime for added flavor.

Tips for the Perfect Beef Pepper Rice Bowl
Use high-quality lean ground beef for flavor and reduced fat.
Don’t skip seasoning—soy sauce, Worcestershire, paprika, and black pepper are key.
Let the rice rest before combining; this prevents clumping.
Cook vegetables to desired tenderness—slightly crunchy bell peppers add texture.
