Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5–7 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes , until the tomatoes soften slightly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dried oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir well to combine and let the spices toast for about 1 minute , enhancing their flavor.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Serve hot, optionally garnished with crumbled feta cheese for extra creaminess and tang. Pair with your choice of sides like rice, quinoa, couscous, or a fresh salad.
