Method
 

How to Make Greek Ground Beef Bowl
  1. Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Mix well, add salt and pepper to taste, then refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
  2. Cook Beef Mixture: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until it turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Season and Brown Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet along with oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls. Top each bowl generously with the beef mixture, then arrange cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese on top for a colorful display.
  5. Add Tzatziki and Garnish: Spoon a generous dollop of tzatziki over each bowl. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill, and garnish with optional lemon wedges for a zesty touch.
