1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, cook 1 cup jasmine rice with 2 cups beef broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes, then fluff.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté 3–4 minutes until translucent.
Add ground beef, breaking apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Stir in sliced bell peppers and garlic. Cook another 5 minutes until peppers soften.
Add cooked rice, soy sauce, Worcestershire, black pepper, paprika, and salt to taste. Stir well and cook 2–3 minutes to combine flavors.
Spoon into bowls and top with green onions. Serve warm.
Notes
Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
Add extra veggies like zucchini or corn for more nutrition.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
