Cook the green beans & make the couscous
2

• 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 heatproof bowl, add couscous, the salt and butter.
• Add the boiling water(see ingredients) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and allow to cool slightly. 

Cook the beef
3

• 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.
