Directions
Moroccan Skirt Steak W/Roasted Pepper Couscous (ZWT-9), Entered for ZWT-9, this is the 2nd of 3 recipes from an article at the Eating Well website titled Healthy Couscous Recipes Per the recipe intro: Thin cuts of beef (such as skirt steak or sirloin steak) cook very quickly when seared in a hot skillet — Just right for a busy weeknight We love how the spicy Moroccan flavors of the steak compliment the sweet, roasted pepper-studded couscous Serve w/an Arugula salad & a glass of Pinot Noir Prep & Cook times were noted as an identical total, but I have allowed an extra 10 min for ingredient assembly Enjoy!, We just loved this meal! I made this exactly as posted, except used kalamata olives in place of the green and used 1-1/2 lbs of skirt steak The couscous was so flavorful tangy from the lemon and infused with all the spices There was more than enough of the spice mixture for the extra 1/2 lb of steak, which I cooked on the outdoor grill, rather than in a skillet The steak really absorbed all of the flavors of the spice mixture and produced a very satisfying meal Thanks for sharing Made for Spice It Up Challenge of ZWT9 by a Tasty Tester
