Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium zucchinis, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the diced zucchinis and red bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
