Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

- Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes. Serve over rice, quinoa, or with crusty bread.
