Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin strips
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cups french fries
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 tomato
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the 1 lb beef strips with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes until browned, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then add the 1 sliced onion and 2 sliced bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, about 8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the 2 cups french fries according to package directions until crispy and golden, about 15-20 minutes in a 425°F oven.

  5. 5

    Slice the 1 cucumber and 1 tomato. Arrange the 2 cups cooked rice, beef, vegetables, fries, cucumber, and tomato on a large platter. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

  6. 6

    Optional: sprinkle with chopped green onions or fresh basil for extra flavor.
