Greek Inspired Beef with Feta Cheese and Vegetables image

I invented this as a vehicle for feta cheese. My flatmates were all very impressed when I made it! I'm sure you could substitute chicken for beef if you wanted to. My original plan was to make chicken, but the beef was on special :) Prep time doesn't include overnight marinade.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

marinade
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 lbs cubed stewing beef
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
salt
1 green pepper, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 cucumber, sliced thickly & slightly diagonally
1 large tomatoes, sliced in large cubes
black olives (optional)
feta cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the ingredients for the marinade (lemon juice, black pepper, salt, oregano, basil, garlic. The recipe gave me trouble in posting, sorry) in a plastic zipper lock bag.
  • A large"freezer" quality bag is best.
  • Add beef to bag, remove as much air as possible.
  • Knead the beef between your fingers to encourage tenderness and to jump start the marinading process.
  • Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Remove beef from marinade, but don't drain it.
  • Heat olive oil in frying pan and cook beef thouroughly.
  • Remove beef from pan, set aside.
  • Use remaining oil to sauté onion.
  • Add salt to separate layers slightly.
  • Add peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes.
  • Re-introduce beef.
  • Cook until tomatoes get tender.
  • This won't take very long.
  • Serve over white rice and garnish with feta cheese and black olives if desired.
