A flavorful and nutritious skillet meal combining savory ground beef, fresh spinach, and tangy feta cheese. Quick, healthy, and perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Beef and Vegetables

  • 500g ground beef
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Cheese

  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano


Instructions

  1. Heat Oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, which usually takes 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season: Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and dried oregano, stirring well to combine all flavors.
  6. Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the beef and spinach mixture and allow it to slightly melt from the residual heat.
  7. Serve: Serve the skillet warm as a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • If fresh spinach is not available, frozen spinach can be used if well drained.
  • For extra freshness and flavor, add cherry tomatoes to the skillet.
  • This dish is a great low-carb option for a healthy diet.
