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!
