  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved — juicy bursts of sweetness
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, sliced — briny and deep
  • 1 tsp dried oregano — classic Mediterranean herb
  • ½ tsp ground cumin — warm and nutty

Instructions

Step-by-Step

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in the minced garlic and let it bloom for 30 seconds.

Step 2: Brown the Beef

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with your spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3: Add the Veggies

Toss in the bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Stir well and let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften but still hold their shape.

Step 4: Season to Perfection

Sprinkle in the oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, letting the spices mingle with the beef and veggies.

Step 5: Final Touches

Stir in the sliced Kalamata olives and let everything warm through for another 2 minutes.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
