Method
Cooking
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
- Add the ground beef and cook for 5-6 minutes. Break it up with a wooden spoon until browned and no pink remains; drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the sliced red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and have a slight char.
- Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant but not browned.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, lemon juice, fresh parsley, and Dijon mustard. Pour this sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything in a glossy finish. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or stir-fry quickly until heated through. Avoid freezing due to texture changes in vegetables.
