How to Make Asian Ground Beef And Pepper Saute
- Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
- Brown the beef: In a large skillet or wok, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain off any excess grease and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add 1 red bell pepper (sliced), 1 green bell pepper (sliced), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger. Season with 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook until tender-crisp: Cook and stir the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
- Combine and simmer: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir in 1/2 cup beef stock, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon chile paste (or to taste), and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
- Thicken and serve: Cook and stir for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Serve the Asian Ground Beef and Pepper Saute hot over the cooked rice.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
