Delicious Mediterranean Ground Beef Stir Fry Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - Ground beef
  • - Red bell pepper
  • - Cherry tomatoes
  • - Baby spinach
  • - Garlic
  • - Green onion
  • - Olive oil
  • - Dried oregano
  • - Kosher salt
  • - Black pepper
  • - Crumbled feta optional

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and the peppers are tender.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the baby spinach and the white parts of the green onion to the skillet. Stir until the spinach wilts down, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  • Once wilted, transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Season the beef with dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, draining any excess grease.
  • Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir everything together until heated through.
  • If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top just before serving.
  • Serve the stir fry warm, either on its own or over a bed of rice, lentils, or quinoa for a complete meal. The Mediterranean Keto Diet encourages the use of healthy fats and proteins, making this dish a nutritious choice.
  • Extra Tips:
  • When preparing this dish, feel free to experiment with different variations by substituting ground turkey or chicken for the beef, or adding ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
  • Additionally, consider using other leafy greens such as kale or zucchini to boost the nutritional content.
  • If you're meal prepping, this stir fry can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage.
