How to make Easy Mediterranean Beef & Eggplant Skillet
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Add the chopped 1 medium yellow onion to the skillet with the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Stir in the minced 3 cloves garlic, 1 medium eggplant (cut into 1/2-inch cubes), and 1 large bell pepper (seeded and diced). Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Pour in the 14.5 oz can of crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup beef broth. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings if necessary. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more beef broth or water.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley and 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, if desired.
- Serve the Mediterranean beef and eggplant skillet hot, perhaps with crusty bread or a side of rice.
