Mediterranean Keto Ground Beef Stir Fry

18 ratings

The Mediterranean Keto diet is a flavorsome combination of healthy Mediterranean foods that are Keto-friendly at the same time. This fantastic beef stir-fry is a simple yet delicious recipe you can prepare in no time. This dish can be served on its own, but you can also serve the leftovers with some zucchini noodles or over a bowl of mashed cauliflower or broccoli. We suggest adding some olive oil right before serving for some extra flavor. You can also add some sugar-free tomato sauce to the meat and prepare a slightly different and healthier version of Keto-friendly bolognese sauce. The options are endless. Enjoy!

What is the Mediterranean Keto diet?

As mentioned above, the Mediterranean Keto diet uses foods that are typical for the Mediterranean diet but also low-carb and Keto-friendly. This is the perfect combination if you want to eat something different, and healthier.

*How to store the leftovers?

You can store the leftovers in air-tight containers and refrigerate them for a couple of days. Optionally, freeze the leftovers until ready to use.

Can I use another type of meat?

Yes, ground pork or lamb would also be perfect for this recipe. You can also combine some ground pork with the beef.

      Simple and tasty enough, especially with a few mods. I swapped white onion for red, add a good splash of Worcestershire sauce and pasta for the carb peeps. The feta gives it the real kicker so add more if you like!

          I like everything except the oscillates, natural defense chemicals, found in the spinach.

          That is more effort than I usually put into cooking dinner, but this one looks like it might be worth it. It’s only 1/4 pound of meat/serving - not enough for me, but doubling the portion size is still only 9 carbs. I’m going to give this a try.

            You could also try putting it over a base you enjoy. Lettuce? Riced cauliflower, or broccoli? Maybe a different veggie? Fried cabbage would work here, too.

            This recipe was very easy. I added mushrooms. Next time I’ll add another cup of spinach, maybe two and tomatoes. Tasty and will try it again.

                    I swapped chives to oregano. Also added olives & cherry tomatoes as someone suggested. Made pasta for hubby with it. Delicious!

                      Would this freeze well for meal prep? If not, how long does it keep in the fridge? TY!

                        Super easy and delicious. I add olives and tomatoes if I have them on hand, sundries tomatoes would be delish! Although it's not keto it goes really well with cous cous. I make this once a week 😅🤣

                          This was so easy & delicious. We will definitely be making it often! Made exactly as recipe but it could easily be adapted to your flavor preferences using additional spices &/or veggies on hand. Keeper! Thank You😀
