1. Cook ground beef, soy sauce, garlic, pepper, and salt in a large skillet over medium high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate; drain grease from the skillet.
2. Heat vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, bell pepper, and onion; cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add beef back to the skillet with cooked rice; stir to combine, and heat until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
