Beef Mediterranean Veggie Mix (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 pound ground beef

→ Vegetables & Aromatics

02 - 1/2 cup diced onion
03 - 2 cloves garlic, crushed
04 - 1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, green), cut into strips
05 - 1 cup sliced zucchini
06 - 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

→ Oils & Seasonings

07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
10 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Garnishes

11 - 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles (if you want)
12 - Chopped fresh parsley (if you want)

# Instructions:

01 - Dice your onion, crush the garlic, and cut up the bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Put them aside for now.
02 - Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a big skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the ground beef and cook until it's no longer pink, breaking it up as you go.
03 - When your beef looks done, throw in the diced onion and crushed garlic. Keep cooking until onions turn clear and you can smell the garlic, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Throw in your bell pepper strips, zucchini slices, and cherry tomato halves. Add the rest of your olive oil and cook until the veggies are just tender but still have some snap, roughly 5-7 minutes.
05 - Sprinkle in the oregano and thyme. Add salt and pepper how you like it. Taste and add more if needed.
06 - Scoop the hot mixture onto plates or into bowls. Sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh parsley if you're using them.

# Notes:

01 - You can keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
02 - Want more zip? Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top right before you eat.
