Mediterranean Ground Beef Stir Fry

This easy and healthy ground beef stir fry is loaded with Mediterranean flavors including blistered tomatoes, spinach, feta, and oregano for a quick dinner.

  • Total Time: 25 min
  • Yield: 4 1x

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
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and tomatoes blister.
  2. Add the spinach and white parts of the green onions. Stir for 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts. Remove veggies to a plate.
  3. Add the ground beef, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Break up the meat and cook until browned, draining excess grease if needed.
  4. Return veggies to the pan, add green parts of green onions, and stir until warmed. Garnish with crumbled feta and serve.

Notes

Use 90% lean ground beef to minimize draining; substitute ground turkey for a lighter option. Serve with tzatziki or over rice for extra flavor. Adjust spices to taste for more heat.
