Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 bell pepper, chopped
• 1 (12 ounce) can corned beef (hormel or other brand)
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 4 cups small grained rice, cooked for serving

Recipe

• 1 heat a large skillet, over medium heat, and lightly saute onion and bell pepper in the oil about 2 to 3 minutes; add the corned beef and combine with the onion and peppers by breaking the beef up with a wooden spoon and stirring.
• 2 flatten mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan, then pour the tomato sauce evenly over top; reduce heat, if needed, to prevent sauce bubbling out of the pan.

• 4 simmer, uncovered, over medium low heat, until liquid has mostly evaporated, about 15 minutes.
• 5 place about 1 cup of rice on each of 4 serving dishes, then divide beef mixture into 4 and use a spatula to place each portion on top of the rice.
