Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Cook your rice according to package directions. While the rice is cooking, thinly slice your beef against the grain into bite-sized strips. Slice your bell peppers into similar-sized strips. Mince your garlic and grate your ginger. If you're making homemade teriyaki sauce, whisk all those ingredients together (soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, non-alcoholic mirin substitute, and cornstarch slurry if using).
- Sear the Beef: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of cooking oil. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, add your beef in a single layer. Cook for just 1-2 minutes per side until beautifully browned. Remove the seared beef from the pan and set it aside.
- Sauté the Peppers and Aromatics: Add another tablespoon of oil to the same pan if needed. Toss in your sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Combine and Sauce: Return the seared beef to the pan with the peppers, garlic, and ginger. Pour in your teriyaki sauce and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 2-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and peppers beautifully.
- Assemble Your Bowl: Once the sauce is thick and glossy, remove the pan from the heat. Spoon a generous portion of hot, fluffy rice into individual bowls and top each with a hearty serving of the teriyaki beef and pepper mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish your Teriyaki Beef And Pepper Rice Bowl by sprinkling generously with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Keywords: For maximum tenderness, always slice the beef against the grain. If you find it difficult to slice thinly, chill the beef in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Customize your vegetables by adding quick-cooking options like broccoli or snap peas.
