INGREDIENTS

8 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the pan, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and develop a slight char.

• 3

  Push the vegetables to the edges of the pan and add the ground beef to the center, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula.

• 4

  Cook the beef undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to get a good sear, then continue to stir and crumble until browned and no longer pink.

• 5

  Stir in the sliced zucchini and minced garlic, then season the entire mixture with sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried oregano.

• 6

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

• 7

  Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately while hot.
