Try this easy Quick Beef with Greek Yogurt Sauce This recipe conjures the flavors of Greek souvlaki, but it’s much quicker and easier to make and takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish. This version features lean ground beef spiced with garlic, cumin, salt and pepper, and a simple, delicious cucumber-yogurt sauce. Top it off with fresh mint for added brightness, texture and color. You can serve the beef and yogurt sauce with whole wheat pita or tortillas alongside for a build-your-own-adventure-type dinner if desired. Read the full recipe here.
