Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, trimmed
  • 1 cup dry couscous
  • 1 1/4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Dressing: 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon harissa paste (optional, for bold flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak: Rub the flank steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from heat, cover loosely, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  2. Cook the couscous: Bring the beef broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in the dry couscous, cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  3. Roast the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and harissa paste, if using. This dressing adds a gourmet touch.
  5. Assemble the steak meal prep bowls: Divide the cooked couscous among four bowls. Top with sliced steak and the roasted vegetables. Drizzle generously with the lemon-herb dressing.

Notes

  • For easy steak meal prep, store the dressing separately and add it just before eating to keep the couscous from getting soggy.
  • If you prefer a different grain, quinoa works well in this bowl food trend recipe.
