Curried Beef with Apple Couscous

Posted in Beef, Low Calorie, Main Course, Vegetables on January 22nd, 2010 by Eileen Devlin

So after about a one week hiatus here is what I will introduce.  Ohhh. . .this was fantastic! Not too spicy, not too sweet – just an even blend of spice and flavor.  Additionally, this was extremely simple to make.

Here you are:

1 lb boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 in thick

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tsp canola oil

2 medium red/green sweet peppers cut into thin strips

1 med onion, coarsely chopped

1 tbsp curry powder

1 c water

3/4 cup apple juice

2 tsp instant beef bouillon granules

1 c whole wheat couscous

1 med tart green apple (Granny Smith), coarsely chopped1/3 c chopped dry roasted peanuts

1. Lightly sprinkle steak with salt/black pepper and place on grill until desired doneness (mine was med-well/well).  You can also use your broiler.

Using the stovetop grill. . .

2. Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet heat oil over medium heat.  Add sweet pepper and onion; cook for 5 mins.  Add curry and stir for one minute.  Add water, juice, bouillon granules and bring to boiling.  Stir in couscous and apple; remove from heat.  Cover and let stand about 5 minutes until liquid is absorbed.  Fluff couscous with fork.

sauteeing the vegetables - nothing better than peppers and onion!

fluffing the couscous. . .

3. Slice steak and serve over couscous mixture and top with peanuts. Makes 6 servings.

Dinner is served!

    I have to agree with Tina, a nice combo of flavor! What type of onion did you use – white or yellow?

    You know what though…I will get a steak and plan to do something like you did, then I’ll take it out and think….Hmmm, maybe we should just grill it. Just steak. I’m bad about that…this looks good.

    @ Tina – This was definitely worth the extra step or two to cook the veggies and dice the apple. And we know couscous takes but 5 mins to let sit in boiling liquid :) The flavor combo was excellent and I’m putting this on repeat this week since I have extra peppers! Let me know how you like it if you decide to try it.

    @Van – I used white. Not sure how much of a difference yellow would make b/c of the curry.
