Instructions
- Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat with the garlic, oregano and a healthy pinch of salt.1 pound lean ground beef, 2-3 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, Kosher salt
- While the beef is browning chop the zucchini. I quartered them longwise and then cut into chunks like this.2 medium zucchini
- Once the beef is browned, remove from the skillet and set aside. Add the chopped zucchini to the warm skillet and saute until browned and slightly softened.
- The key is not to toss them too much. Let them be for about a minute, then toss. Then another minute then toss. This will let them caramelize a bit.
- After a few minutes add the beef back to the pan. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar. Remove from heat and serve!2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- I added about a half ounce of feta and some fresh chives on top. Easy, simple and tasty, you can't beat it.Feta cheese and chives for garnish
