Instructions

- Start cooking the rice, following your preferred method. I always go with the rice cooker & a tbsp of butter.1 cup Jasmine rice, 1 tbsp Salted butter
- Chop the vegetables, then heat up 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok on medium/high. Once the skillet is hot, add the carrot & bell peppers & stir fry until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a separate plate.2 large Bell Peppers, 1 cup Carrots, 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Crank to high heat & add 1 tbsp olive oil per pound of beef. Once hot, add the beef & sear for about 2 minutes on each side. The goal here is to create a crispy coating. Make sure not to crowd the skillet, & cook in two batches or in two skillets at a time if needed. Feel free to add more olive oil if the skillet or wok seems dry.2 tbsp Olive oil
- Add the vegetables back into the skillet. Add the sauce & stir until well-combined. Turn the heat down to medium/low and simmer as the sauce thickens for about 4-5 minutes. Divide into 4 equal portions, & garnish with green onions!1/2 cup Green onions
