Florida Beef with Zucchini, Tomato, and Olives

Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat a large cast-iron or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, using a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Season lightly with sea salt, fresh ground pepper and 1 teaspoon of the seasoning blend. Mix well. Once fully cooked, drain the beef and set aside.

Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the olive oil and red onion. Sauté for 2 minutes then add the garlic and zucchini. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

Add the cooked beef back to the pan along with the diced tomato, olives, scallions, chopped oregano and the remaining 1 teaspoon of seasoning blend. Stir to combine and cook until heated through.

Add the lemon juice and stir again. Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

Remove from heat and serve directly in the cast-iron pan or transfer to a large serving bowl. Garnish with lemon slices and oregano sprigs.

Serve with Florida lettuce leaves, hummus, salty cheese, rice and/or flatbread.
