Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Slice lemon into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine beef strips, peri-peri seasoning, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Add trimmed green beans and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave green beans on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes. Drain, then return to the bowl and cover to keep warm. • To a large bowl, add couscous, the salt and butter. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cups for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with fork and allow to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, return all beef strips and add the honey and a good squeeze of lemon juice, tossing to coat. Season to taste. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
• To couscous, add rocket, semi-dried tomatoes, green beans, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil, tossing to combine. Season to taste. • Divide lemony couscous salad between bowls. Top with peri-peri beef. • Drizzle over mayonnaise and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
