Description

Greek Beef Orzo Pasta is a flavorful one-pan meal combining tender ground beef, orzo pasta, tomatoes, and Mediterranean spices, finished with feta cheese and fresh herbs for a comforting Greek-inspired dish.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Stir in oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add orzo pasta, diced tomatoes (with juice), and beef broth. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until orzo is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
  7. Uncover and stir in half of the feta cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Top with remaining feta and garnish with parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ground lamb for a more traditional Greek flavor.
  • Stir in spinach or chopped olives for added nutrition and taste.
  • Make it spicy by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
