Cooking Steps
• Grate the carrot (see ingredients). Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and chicken-style stock powder and bring to the boil. Add couscous and stir to combine. • Cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until water has absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
Custom Recipe: If you've doubled your beef strips, prep as above.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook leek until tender, 4-5 minutes. • In a large bowl, combine leek, turnip and carrot couscous. Drizzle with vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
TIP: Combine the veggies and couscous in the saucepan to save on washing dishes!
• Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add the honey and toss beef to coat. Set aside. • Divide veggie couscous between bowls. Top with spiced beef and creamy pesto dressing. • Garnish with almonds to serve. Enjoy!
Custom Recipe: Cook in batches for the best results! Return all beef to the pan before adding the honey.
