Cut the florets away from the broccoli stem using a knife or by hand.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add avocado oil until hot and starting to smoke.

Add 80/20 ground beef to the pan and season with salt and black pepper.

Add chopped red onion and freshly chopped garlic to the beef and cook together until the onions soften, about 1 minute.

Season the mixture with paprika and red chili flakes, and add fresh thyme (or dried thyme if preferred).

Mix everything well and let it cook until the beef is browned and fragrant.

Add the chopped zucchini to the pan and mix well, ensuring everything is combined.

Add the broccoli florets to the pan and season with salt; cover and cook for about 1 minute.

Stir the mixture to combine everything and check for any spills.

Grate cheese (Scar Musa or any preferred cheese) over the mixture.

Add heavy whipping cream to the pan and cover to cook for a few more minutes.

Stir the mixture again after a couple of minutes and check the tenderness of the broccoli.

Taste the dish and add more salt if needed, then decide whether to cover or uncover to reduce the liquid.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the mixture and stir until melted and combined.

Once the liquid has reduced to your liking, serve the dish in a bowl and top with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of paprika.
