How to Make Beef Orzo Mediterranean Style
- Heat a 10-12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add 1 lb ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (3-5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained; 1 cup beef broth; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a boil. Stir in 1 cup orzo pasta.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until orzo is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
- While the orzo simmers, squeeze excess water from 5 ounces fresh spinach.
- Stir in the spinach until wilted and heated through.
- Serve immediately, topped with crumbled feta cheese (optional).
