Beef Couscous Recipes

Steps:

• Stir the carrots, celery root and 1/2 cup prunes in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Toss the beef with the ras el hanout, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Arrange on top of the vegetables. Whisk the chicken broth and tomato paste in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup and pour over the meat and vegetables. Cover and cook on low until the meat is tender, 7 to 8 hours.
• About 15 minutes before serving, cook the couscous as the label directs.
• Skim the fat off the top of the stew with a ladle and discard. Stir in the harissa and season with salt and pepper. Divide the couscous and stew among bowls. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup prunes and cilantro; serve with more harissa.

Steps:

• Soak 4 wooden skewers in water, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, the vinegar, rosemary, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade, then add the steak to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss; set aside at room temperature, 20 minutes.
• Cook the couscous as the label directs; toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
• While the couscous is cooking, preheat a large grill pan over high heat. Thread the steak onto the skewers. Toss the onion rounds and tomatoes in a bowl with the reserved 2 tablespoons marinade.
• Brush the grill pan with olive oil and add the kebabs and onion rounds. Cook the onion, turning once, until charred and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Cook the kebabs, turning a few times, until charred all over, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Transfer the kebabs and onion to a plate and season with salt. Add the tomatoes to the pan, cut-side down, and cook, turning once, until charred and softened, about 4 minutes. Serve the kebabs with the couscous, tomatoes and onion.

Steps:

• Brown beef in oil and remove. Add onion and pepper and saute until tender. Add water, beef, tomato paste, salt, pepper, allspice, and cinnamon . Simmer, covered, until meat is tender. Stir in couscous, bring to a light boil, reduce heat and simmer until cous cous starts to come to surface.

Steps:

• Place beef in an 8- by 12-inch roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, mix wine, hoisin sauce, garlic, and coriander; brush evenly over beef.
• Roast in a 425 degree oven until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast registers 135 degrees for rare (about 35 minutes; after 25 minutes, check temperature every 5 minutes).
• During roasting, brush beef 4 times with wine mixture.
• If pan drippings begin to burn, add 4 to 6 tablespoons water to pan and stir to loosen browned bits.
• Transfer beef to a board and cover loosely.
• Combine any remaining wine mixture and all the pan juices, then measure; add enough broth to make 2 1/2 cups total.
• Pour broth mixture into roasting pan; bring to a boil stirring to loosen browned bits.
• Add couscous; return to a boil, stirring.
• Remove pan from heat, cover tightly with foil, and let stand until liquid is absorbed (about 5 minutes).
• Stir in peas, onions, and any juices that have accumulated around beef.
