Week 24 - Beef, Couscous Salad











STEAK & COUSCOUS SALAD *****

Beef steak - cut into strips.
Lettuce shredded.
Lemon.
Couscous.
Tomatoes - vine x2
Olive oil - x4 caps
Balsamic vinegar - x2 caps
Greek yogurt
Mint fresh
Coriander
English mustard - x1 heaped teaspoon
Whole gran mustard - x1 heaped teaspoon
Bell peeper x1 cut into thumb size pieces
Small chillies x2

There are four elements for this dish

1) the beef,
2) a mint/lemon/coriander yogurt dressing,
3) tomatoes in mustard
4) & couscous and peppers.

An amazing salad for summer. For the yogurt dressing mix chopped coriander, chopped mint with cup of plain yogurt and add good squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper. Then chill in fridge. Pour boiling water onto a cup full of couscous in a bowl then pour off excess water straight away and stir in chopped mint and coriander. Cover, stir and set aside. Shred lettuce and chill in fridge. Slice the tomatoes then put in small bowl with the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, chopped chillies, and both mustards. Stir to coat and cover and chill in fridge. Leave all this in fridge to chill and after 30min quickly fry the chopped bell pepper and add to the couscous then fry the beef strips with salt and pepper in a pan with the olive oil. Serve (the tomato oil/mustard dressing goes on the salad). Just as good cold as hot.
