A quick and healthy Mediterranean stir fry with ground beef, tomatoes, and feta. Perfect for any season!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper deseeded and diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 8 ounces baby spinach 1 small tub
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced (whites and greens separated)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese optional

Instructions

Sauté the Tomatoes and Bell Pepper

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 4–5 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and begin to release their juices. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Wilt the Greens

  • Add the spinach and the white parts of the green onion. Stir frequently. The spinach will shrink quickly—this should take about 2–3 minutes. Once wilted, transfer the vegetable mixture to a plate and set aside.

Brown the Ground Beef

  • In the same skillet, add the ground beef, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.

Combine and Serve

  • Return the cooked veggies to the skillet and add the green parts of the green onion. Stir until everything is warmed through. Remove from heat and top with crumbled feta, if using.
