1-Get all your ingredients ready, like dicing the veggies and measuring the spices, to keep things organized. This approach makes cooking feel less overwhelming and more enjoyable, especially for beginners.

2-Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat to start building the base. Once melted, add the diced vegetables 1 medium onion, 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, and 1 jalapeno and cook them for about 5 minutes until they soften. This step brings out their natural sweetness and adds a fresh crunch to the dish.

3-Next, add 1 pound of ground beef to the pan and cook it until it’s fully done and the veggies are tender, which takes around 6-8 minutes. Be sure to break up the beef with a spatula for even cooking. After that, drain any excess liquid and return everything to the pan to keep the flavors locked in.

4-Stir in ½ cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt if you like, and 2 teaspoons of pepper. Mix it all together well to coat the ingredients evenly, letting the spices meld for a minute or two. Finally, serve the mixture over cooked rice for a complete meal that’s ready in just 35 minutes total.

5-For those with special diets, this is where you can swap in alternatives like cauliflower rice. Ground beef should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit internally for safety, as noted in the tips. Follow these steps closely, and you’ll have a dish that’s both tasty and reliable every time.
