Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 45 mins


• bring the rice and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. put the cooked rice into a large serving bowl.
• while the rice cooks, bring beef bouillon and 3/4 cup water to a boil in a saucepan; cook until the bouillon dissolves completely. whisk the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water together in a small bowl until smooth; stir the red vinegar, spaghetti sauce, steak sauce, salsa picante, brown sugar, and ginger into the cornstarch mixture; pour the resulting sauce into the bouillon and water. simmer until hot, about 5 minutes.
• melt the butter with the soy sauce in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the beef in the melted butter mixture until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. pour the sauce from the saucepan into the skillet; season with the garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. bring the mixture to a boil; lower heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and sticks to the beef, 20 to 30 minutes.
• pour the skillet mixture over the rice. cook the onion and pepper rings in the skillet until softened, 5 to 7 minutes; scrape the onions, peppers, and remaining juices the beef and rice to serve.
