Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef preferably lean
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 zucchini sliced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 handful fresh parsley chopped
Optional
  • cauliflower rice or roasted potatoes for serving, optional

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until fragrant.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Drain any excess fat if needed. Add sliced bell pepper and zucchini. Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  4. Sprinkle in the oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
  5. Continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
  6. Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, and serve hot with cauliflower rice or roasted potatoes.

Notes

Make it low-carb by serving with cauliflower rice. For a more traditional option, serve with roasted potatoes. This dish also reheats well the next day—flavors deepen as it rests!
