Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Zest and quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro.
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, heat a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, 2 TBSP water, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, stirring often, until water has evaporated and peanuts are coated and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes.
Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 6-9 minutes.
Transfer veggies to a plate.
Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add beef*; season with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3-4 minutes.
Break up meat into pieces and continue cooking until beef is cooked through, 2-4 minutes.
Stir in veggies, then add soy glaze, chili sauce, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until mixture is thoroughly coated, 1-2 minutes more.
Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and lime zest to taste. Season with salt.
Divide rice between bowls and top with beef mixture, peanuts, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
The instructions were not complete on your recipe card. It does not say at what point do you add the sweet Thai chili sauce and the sweet soy glaze.
It was a little too sweet - needed some spice to balance out the sweetness
