Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup whole wheat couscous
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber

  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for harissa oil)

Instructions

  1. Season beef cubes with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned on all sides and cooked to desired doneness. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  3. Combine couscous and hot water or broth in a medium bowl. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and couscous is fluffy.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together harissa paste and 1 tablespoon olive oil to make the harissa oil.

  7. Drizzle each bowl with harissa oil before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of harissa oil to your spice preference.
