Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Mix the spinach, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt in a bowl.
- Arrange one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush with melted butter. Cover the remaining phyllo dough with a damp towel. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush with butter, then place a third sheet on top. Cut the buttered phyllo lengthwise into four strips.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture on the bottom of each strip. Take the bottom right corner and fold the dough over the filling to make a triangle. Fold the bottom left corner up to make another triangle. Continue folding until all the dough is folded. Arrange the stuffed triangles, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the triangle with butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and spinach filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything important.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic produce and high-quality cuts of meat.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the beef, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you crowd the pan, the beef will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the Beef to Your Desired Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the beef is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the beef to an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). For medium, cook the beef to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Let the Beef Rest: After cooking the beef, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The beef will be at its most tender and flavorful, and the vegetables will be bright and crisp.
Conclusion:
This Greek-inspired beef with feta cheese and vegetables is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The beef is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are perfectly cooked, and the feta cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor. Serve this dish with some warm pita bread and a glass of your favorite wine for a complete meal.
