Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season the mixture with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, try incorporating olives or artichoke hearts into the stir-fry.
You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Serve over cooked quinoa or rice for a heartier meal.
