Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut carrot into thick half-moons. Slice red onion into wedges. Place veggies on a lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
While the veggies are roasting, finely chop garlic. Roughly chop tomato and salad leaves. In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season, then add beef strips and toss to coat. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, add the water and vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Add couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef strips in batches, tossing, until browned, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
Add roasted veggies, tomato, salad leaves, the white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil to the couscous. Season and toss to combine.
Divide the roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with garlic-herb beef strips and spoon over any resting juices. Top with basil pesto. Crumble over cheese to serve.
