Description

Flavorful Mediterranean Ground Beef Stir Fry is a vibrant and flavor-packed dish that combines lean ground beef with fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and tangy Kalamata olives, celebrating the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

1. 1. Cook the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat, if needed.

2. 2. Add the Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened.

3. 3. Incorporate the Vegetables: Toss in the chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

4. 4. Season with Flavor: Stir in the sliced Kalamata olives, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.

5. 5. Finish with Freshness: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese.

6. 6. Serve and Enjoy: Savor this flavorful Mediterranean Ground Beef Stir Fry on its own or serve it over a bed of fluffy rice, quinoa, or alongside warm pita bread.

Notes

Opt for lean ground beef to keep the dish light and heart-healthy. Maintain vegetable crispness by cooking over high heat and stirring frequently. Experiment with additional Mediterranean spices and herbs for enhanced flavor.
