Korean beef stuffed peppers are a flavorful fusion of Korean-style ground beef and tender bell peppers. Filled with a savory-sweet beef and rice mixture seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, and sesame, then baked to perfection, they make a wholesome and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

  • 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), halved and seeded
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Place cut side up in a baking dish.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, and shredded carrots. Cook for another 2–3 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and mix in cooked rice and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon the beef mixture into each pepper half, pressing down lightly to fill evenly.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, until peppers are tender.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and extra green onions before serving.

Notes

Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.Add kimchi or gochujang for a spicy kick.Replace rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for dietary needs.Top with shredded cheese before baking for a cheesy variation.These freeze well for up to 2 months—wrap individually and thaw before reheating.
