Cooking Steps
Grate the carrot (see ingredients). Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the tomato and cucumber. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Zest the lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves.
In a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat, melt the butter with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water (for the couscous) and vegetable stock powder. Bring to the boil. Add the wholemeal couscous, stir to combine then cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the chermoula spice blend, some Greek-style yoghurt (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people), a squeeze of lemon juice and drizzle of olive oil. Add the beef strips, tossing to coat.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook the beef strips, in batches, until golden, 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining yoghurt, the water (for the sauce), a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Combine the carrot couscous with the lemon zest, tomato, cucumber, baby spinach and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
Divide the chermoula beef, wholemeal carrot couscous and tomato salad between plates. Top with the yoghurt sauce and garnish with the mint. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
