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.
