Elevate your day with a flavorful spiced beef and couscous salad bursting with zucchini, carrot, and spinach.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 250g pearl couscous
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 2.50 gm ground ginger
  • 2.50 gm sweet paprika
  • 4 Beef Scotch Fillet Steaks
  • 3 zucchini, sliced diagonally
  • 2 carrots, sliced diagonally
  • 60g baby spinach leaves
  • 35g dried cranberry
  • 62.50 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 40.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 20g almond
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Stir in the couscous and cook for 5 mins until golden. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 10 mins until the couscous is tender. Let it sit for 5 mins to absorb the liquid, then fluff the grains with a fork.
  • Combine cumin, ginger, and paprika in a small bowl, season, and then sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the beef to coat. Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the beef, and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer the beef to a heatproof plate, cover with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thickly.
  • Pan fry the zucchini for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until it turns a beautiful golden color.
  • In a large bowl, mix together beef, couscous, zucchini, carrot, spinach, cranberries, parsley, and vinegar. Season to taste. Serve by dividing the beef mixture into individual bowls and topping each with almonds.
