- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinade)

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced

- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
- 2 tablespoons water or broth (for reheating, optional)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix sliced beef with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Prepare the Vegetables: While the beef marinates, slice the bell peppers, onion, and scallions.
-
Cook the Beef: In a hot pan with oil, cook the marinated beef until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, lightly stir-fry the peppers and onion until just tender.
-
Add the Rice: Stir in the cooked rice and mix well with the vegetables.
-
Season the Dish: Add oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Return the beef to the pan and stir to combine.
-
Finish and Serve: Add chopped scallions last and serve hot.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh garlic and ginger rather than powdered.
- Jasmine or basmati rice works well for its aroma and texture.
- Use shallow containers and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
- Reheat with a splash of water or broth to keep rice from drying out.
