Cook the rice
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 3 cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Roast the sweet peppers
- Meanwhile, halve, core and medium-dice the sweet peppers.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 16 to 18 min., until softened.
Prepare the meatballs
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the beef, panko, 1 egg, the remaining spices and S&P.
- Form into 16 meatballs.
Cook & coat the meatballs
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the meatballs* and cook, partially covered, turning occasionally, 9 to 11 min., until browned and cooked through.
- Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Add the teriyaki glaze, pineapple chili sauce and 2 tbsp water. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the meatballs are coated.
