Preparation
1
Marinate the Meat

  • Place your beef strips in a bowl. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging.
  • Add the soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Leave aside to marinate.

2
Get Prepped

  • Trim the cucumber, quarter lengthways then chop widthways into small pieces. Add to a bowl along with the yoghurt and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Trim the carrot then coarsely grate (no need to peel).
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  • Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).

3
Cook the Couscous

  • Zest and quarter the lemon.
  • Add the couscous, lemon zest and ¼ tsp salt (double for 4p) to a medium bowl.
  • Pour in 200ml boiling water (500ml for 4p).
  • Give it a stir, cover with a plate or cling film and leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
  • Once ready, stir the grated carrot through the couscous. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4
Make the Chimichurri

  • Meanwhile, mix 4 tbsp oil (double for 4p) with the juice of half the lemon wedges in a large bowl.
  • Add the chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice), garlic and chopped parsley.
  • Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: Use a blender if you'd like a smoother consistency.

5
Sear the Beef Strips

  • Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, remove the beef strips from the marinade and fry until browned, shifting as they colour, 2-3 mins.
  • When 1 min of cooking time remains, add any marinating juices from the bowl to the pan. IMPORTANT: Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.

6
Finish and Serve

  • When everything's ready, fluff up the couscous with a fork and divide between bowls. 
  • Top with tomatoes and cooling cucumber.
  • Finish with the beef strips and a drizzle of the chimichurri sauce. 
  • Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
