Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/8 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
While rice cooks, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop parsley.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly, 2-3 min. Add beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
Add peppers, crushed tomatoes, soy sauce, broth concentrates, Italian Seasoning, half the parsley, 1 3/4 cups water and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) to the pot with beef. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over high, scraping up any bits that stick to the bottom of the pot. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender, 8-10 min.
Fluff rice with a fork, then add to stew. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine. (TIP: If stew is too thick, add 1/4 cup water to loosen.)
Divide stew between bowls. Sprinkle cheese and remaining parsley over top.
