Mediterranean Feta & Ground Beef Skillet (36g Protein)

Published: 8/10/2026

A savory skillet that utilizes lean ground beef and the sharp tang of feta. This dish is designed for high-protein meal prep and retains its texture well when reheated.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef (95% lean)
• 4 oz (115 g) feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 zucchini, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 tsp (3 g) dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp (1 g) ground cumin

Instructions

1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet; drain any excess fat.
2. Add the zucchini and bell pepper; sauté until tender-crisp.
3. Season with the oregano and cumin.
4. Stir in the feta just before serving so it softens but does not completely melt.

Pro Tips

• Cast Iron for Umami: Use a cast-iron skillet to get a better sear on the beef, which enhances the overall savory (umami) depth of the dish.
