Description
A quick and colorful stir-fry that brings the flavors of the Mediterranean to your weeknight dinner table. Tender strips of beef are seared with zucchini and cherry tomatoes, then finished with tangy feta cheese and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over high heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes without stirring. Flip and cook another minute until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add zucchini and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender.
- Add garlic and cherry tomatoes, cooking for 2 more minutes until tomatoes begin to soften.
- Return beef to the skillet. Sprinkle with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together and cook for 1 minute to heat through.
- Remove from heat. Crumble feta cheese over the stir-fry and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a more robust Mediterranean flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
