Ingredients
1 tablespoon oil
1 red bell pepper deseeded and diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
8 ounces baby spinach
4 minced garlic cloves
2 green onions white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
1 pound ground beef 90% lean recommended
Β½ teaspoon oregano
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese optional
Instructions
1-First, gather your ingredients and heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. This sets the stage for a quick, delicious cook that fits right into your busy routine.
2-Next, sautΓ© the red bell pepper and halved cherry tomatoes for 4 to 5 minutes until the tomatoes blister and release their juices. Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and stir for 1 minute to bring out that aromatic punch. Then, toss in the 8 ounces of baby spinach and the white parts of the 2 green onions, cooking until the spinach wilts, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
3-Remove the veggies to a plate to keep them crisp and flavorful. In the same pan, cook the 1 pound of ground beef with Β½ teaspoon of oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste, breaking it up until itβs browned. Donβt forget to drain any excess grease for a lighter result.
4-Return the vegetables to the pan, stir in the green parts of the green onions, and heat everything through until itβs warm and blended. Finally, garnish with 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese if you like, and serve it up. This method keeps the Mediterranean ground beef stir fry vibrant and ready in under 25 minutes.
