Skillet Beef and Vegetables

Fiona Haynes
This is a quick and easy low fat skillet meal that can be on the table in 30 minutes. I use extra-lean ground beef, and only 8 ounces of it, filling the skillet with plenty of vegetables to make this hearty supper dish. Enjoy with some rice or by itself as a one-bowl meal.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp canola oil
  • 1 stick celery, sliced
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup sliced carrots
  • 3/4 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 3/4 cup mushrooms
  • 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 8 ounces extra-lean ground beef
  • 1 15-ounce can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Preparation:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté celery, onion, carrots, green beans, mushrooms and zucchini for 2-3minutes. Add oregano. Crumble in beef and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat. Add canned tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Serves 4.
