INGREDIENTS

8 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup yellow onion

1 cup red bell pepper

1 cup zucchini

2 cloves garlic

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat.

• 2

  Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink.

• 3

  If there is excess liquid or fat in the pan, carefully drain it before proceeding to ensure the vegetables sauté rather than steam.

• 4

  Stir in the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the pepper begins to soften.

• 5

  Add the sliced zucchini, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and smoked paprika to the pan.

• 6

  Continue to sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender-crisp and the spices are fragrant.

• 7

  Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot.
