Instructions
Step 1:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2:
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and their aroma fills the kitchen.
Step 3:
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. If desired, drain any excess fat for a leaner dish.
Step 4:
Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the beef and vegetables are evenly coated in the flavorful sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 5:
Serve the beef and pepper mixture over cooked rice for a complete and hearty meal. Garnish with additional black pepper or chopped green onions, if desired.
