        Notes

        This recipe is incredibly versatile. You can make it gluten-free by using coconut aminos or tamari instead of soy sauce, and low-carb by replacing the rice with cauliflower rice or shredded zucchini. For meal prep, make a double batch and store the beef and pepper mixture separately from the rice to keep it fresh.
