Ingredients

• 2 pound ground beef (93% lean)
• 1 cup white rice (uncooked)
• 2 cup water
• 2 poblano peppers (medium, seeded and diced)
• 1 red bell pepper (medium, seeded and diced)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
• 3 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sriracha
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 3 green onions (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine white rice, water, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
2. While the rice cooks, heat toasted sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it apart into bite-sized crumbles, until browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F.
3. Add poblano pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, fresh ginger, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Sauté for 4 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp and fragrant.
4. Pour in low-sodium soy sauce and sriracha, stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until the beef and vegetables are evenly coated in a glossy glaze. Remove skillet from heat and toss with green onion.
5. Portion the fluffed white rice into bowls and spoon the warm ginger beef and pepper mixture over the top.
