Cooking Steps

Cook coucous
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over high.
Prep and start beef

  • While pan heats, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then thinly slice onion.
  • When hot, add beef, peppers, onions, Chili-Cumin Spice Blend and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to the dry pan. Cook for 5-8 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** 
  • While beef and veggies cook, tear or cut olives in half, reserving liquid.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
Finish beef
