Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small red onion, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 zucchini, sliced

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Cook the Ground Beef:
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 7–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and transfer beef to a plate.

  • Sauté the Vegetables:
    In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced red onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

  • Combine and Season:
    Add sliced zucchini and red bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until just tender. Return the ground beef to the skillet. Stir in oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring to combine.

 

  • Finish and Serve:
    Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Great served with couscous, rice, or warm pita bread.

  • For a low-carb option, enjoy it on its own or over cauliflower rice.

 

  • Add olives or chopped cherry tomatoes for extra Mediterranean flair.
