Simple Ground Beef Garlic Rice Bowl

This rice bowl combines flavorful ground beef sautéed with garlic and vegetables, served over a bed of fluffy rice. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup rice (white or brown)
2 cups beef broth or water
1 medium onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Green onions or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine rice and beef broth (or water). Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender.
Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Brown the Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Add Garlic and Season: Stir in minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Combine and Serve: Fluff the cooked rice and divide it into bowls. Top each bowl with the beef and vegetable mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro before serving.
