Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb lean ground beef
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced
1 medium green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
hot cooked spaghetti (optional)

Steps:

  • In a nonstick skillet, cook the beef, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute onion in remaining oil for 2 minutes. Add zucchini and green pepper; cook and stir for 4-6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, basil, thyme and remaining salt. Add the beef mixture; heat through. Serve over the spaghetti if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Using fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for tender cuts of beef, ripe vegetables, and aromatic herbs.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor it. You can marinate the beef for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to sear the beef and lock in the juices. If you're using a skillet, make sure it's hot before adding the beef. If you're using a grill, preheat it to high heat before grilling the beef.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Beef is best when cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Let the beef rest before slicing: Let the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Mediterranean beef toss is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender beef, flavorful vegetables, and aromatic herbs makes this dish a surefire hit. Serve it with rice, potatoes, or your favorite bread for a complete meal. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to impress your guests, Mediterranean beef toss is sure to please.
