Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.

2. Add garlic and ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon—about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

3. Stir in the bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for 5 minutes, until slightly tender.

4. Add cherry tomatoes, olives, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir and let cook for 3–4 more minutes, until tomatoes soften slightly.

5. Squeeze in lemon juice and stir well to combine.

6. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh herbs.
