Ingredients
Instructions
- Form ground beef into 6 oval patties.
- Cook the patties in a skillet with peanut oil until browned; do not drain the oil.
- In a bowl, combine water, soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, and sugar; set aside.
- Place thinly sliced green peppers on top of the cooked patties.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the green peppers and patties.
- Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the patties with cooked rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in minced garlic or ginger into the ground beef before forming patties. If you prefer a different protein, ground turkey or chicken can be substituted. Adjust the heat by adding chili flakes to the sauce or opting for a spicier variety of green peppers. This recipe also pairs well with Chinese recipes that feature rice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the patties over a bed of cooked rice to soak up the flavorful sauce. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. For a twist, try serving the patties in a lettuce wrap for a lighter option. This dish also complements Chinese recipes featuring stir-fried vegetables.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover patties and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave on medium power until warmed through, or heat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out. Serve with fresh rice to maintain texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the patties ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the patties a day in advance and refrigerate them. Just cook them fresh when ready to serve for the best flavor and texture. The sauce can also be made ahead and stored separately.
What can I use instead of peanut oil?
If you have allergies or prefer a different flavor, you can substitute peanut oil with vegetable oil, canola oil, or sesame oil for a different taste. Just be mindful that sesame oil has a stronger flavor, so use it sparingly.
How do I know when the patties are fully cooked?
To ensure the patties are fully cooked, they should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). You can also check for a nice brown crust on the outside and make sure the juices run clear when cut into.
