- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. Combine with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions for about 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add bell peppers and cook until slightly softened.

- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Pour over the beef mixture in the skillet; cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until thickened.
