Moroccan Beef Salad ~ A 20 minute wonder....

This picture is actually the left overs...

The recipes that I love and the ones that I get the most feedback on are those that look and taste like you have been in the kitchen for hours but really only take 20mins!

I often come in from work at 6pm and have children and self to feed... we are all starving hungry. Nutrition and taste are really important to me and this dish ticks all those boxes...quick, easy, healthy and delicious!

For this you will need....
4 minute steaks
olive oil for frying
100g feta - crumbly kind
1 tablespoon of ras el hanout
1 cup couc cous
2 cups of water
2 carrots
2 small spanish onions
2 big handfuls of mixed green leaf
preserved lemon, mint and flat leaf parsley to garnish...

*ras el hanout is the kings mix and is such an essential pantry item... you can use cinnamon and turmeric but the best is with ras el hanout....


To make...

I always want to write here... pour a glass of wine... which is usually how I start cooking! This is optional...

Put your kettle on and frypan on medium heat... small amount of olive oil in the pan and place in  2 of your minute steaks...sprinkle on half the ras el hanout and fry off minute each side...

Place your next 2 steaks in  and sprinkle on remaining ras el hanout. Fry off your steaks.

Add in a cup of water and de glaze your pan... this means disolve the juices that are on the base of pan...

Take out your steaks...

Mandolin slice your carrots and onions and place in pan. Chop up your tomatoes and add. Cook down for 5 minutes...

While this is happening pour a cup of boiling water over a cup of cous cous and cover... cous cous is SO easy folks... get to love it!

 The vegetable and tomato will break down really fast...

Slice up your beef and stir through your carrot mix...

Fluff up your cous cous with a fork and then place in a large serving bowl... I have this lovely moroccan serving bowl but any large flat based dish will do...

 Then pile on your carrot meat mix like so~


And then place on your salad greens....

Crumble on your feta and coarse chop your herbs and preserved lemon...

And that is it... serve and EAT!!!!!

This meal is so good the next day for lunch eaten cold.... that is if there is any left!!!

Enjoy

yours,
