Mediterranean Ground Beef Stir Fry


 Ingredients

 1 lb ground beef

 2 tbsp olive oil

 1 onion, finely chopped

 3 cloves (1 Tbsp) garlic, minced

 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced or chopped

 1 zucchini, cut into quarter moons

 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (2 regular tomatoes worked)

 1 tsp ground cumin

 1 tsp dried oregano

 1 tsp salt

 1/2 tsp paprika

 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, but I liked it. It wasn’t spicy.)

 1/2 tsp black pepper

 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

 Juice of 1/2 lemon (2 Tablespoons or 1/8 cup)

 Instructions

 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

 Add ground beef, cook until browned (5-7 minutes), and drain excess grease if needed.

 Stir in bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

 Add cherry tomatoes, cumin, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

 Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and top with feta cheese and parsley. Serve warm and enjoy! This is a great low-carb dinner! Or you can serve it over rice.
