A quick and vibrant skillet dinner featuring lean ground beef cooked with bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and garlic, finished with oregano and fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 90/10)
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Wait until oil shimmers.
  2. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned.
  4. Stir in the sliced bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for 3–4 minutes until starting to soften.
  5. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5–7 minutes until tender.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Substitute turkey or lamb for ground beef; use a splash of lemon at the end for brightness. Add beef broth for more sauce if desired.
