Mediterranean Ground Beef Stir Fry

Print Recipe

This easy and healthy ground beef stir fry is loaded with Mediterranean flavors from blistered tomatoes, bell peppers, spinach, and feta cheese for a quick dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 8 ounces baby spinach
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
  • 1 pound ground beef (90% lean)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and sliced cherry tomatoes, cooking until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add the baby spinach and the white parts of the green onions. Stir for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove the vegetables to a plate.
  3. In the same pan, add the ground beef, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Return the vegetables to the pan, add the green parts of the green onions and minced garlic. Stir until warmed through. Garnish with crumbled feta and serve.

Notes

Use 90% lean ground beef to minimize draining fat, or substitute ground turkey for a lighter option. Spinach wilts significantly, so it fits easily after initial addition. Serve over rice or with pita for a complete meal.
