There is nothing quite like a Greek beef bowl when you want something fresh but filling for dinner. I love how simple it is to season the ground beef and pile it high with all the crunchy, colorful vegetables I have on hand.

My secret for the best bowls is making sure your cucumber and tomato are chopped nice and small so you get a bit of everything in every single bite. It is a fantastic option for meal prep throughout the busy work week.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cooked white rice or quinoa
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go.
3
Stir in the garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper, cooking for another two minutes until the beef is very fragrant.
4
Remove the pan from the heat.
5
Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among four bowls.
6
Top each bowl with the seasoned beef, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives.
7
Finish each bowl with a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.

💡 Tips

Store your meat and veggies in separate containers if you are prepping ahead to keep everything crisp. You can also serve this over a bed of fresh romaine lettuce if you want a lighter meal.
