Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour:Ā Most customers loved the Mediterranean flavours, praising the pesto dressing, couscous, and flaked almonds as standout elements. Some found the overall dish mild or felt the flavours did not quite come together.
- Ease of prep:Ā This dish is widely praised for its speed and simplicity, with many customers confirming it genuinely comes together in around 15 minutes on a busy weeknight.
- Suggestions:Ā Several customers found the beef chewy and recommend cooking it strictly for 1ā2 minutes in batches over high heat to keep it tender. Some suggested tossing the garlic and herb seasoning through the beef in a bowl rather than sprinkling it directly into the frying pan, and a few recommended chopping the semi-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces before stirring through the couscous.
- Leftovers:Ā At least one customer noted the dish saved well for lunch the next day, and others mentioned it works nicely served cold.
- Portions:Ā A number of customers felt the beef quantity was on the small side, particularly for two people, and a few also noted the couscous could be slightly more generous.
