How to Make Beef Fillets With Moroccan Couscous

  1. Rub 1 tablespoon of curry paste over the beef fillet.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef fillet until browned on all sides, ensuring it remains slightly pink in the center (approximately 3-4 minutes per side).
  3. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside to rest.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of curry paste and 1 finely chopped medium onion to the skillet. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of beef stock and bring to a boil.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of couscous.
  7. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, or until the couscous has absorbed the liquid.
  8. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint, and 1/4 cup of slivered almonds.
  9. Slice the rested beef fillet and serve over the couscous. Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup of slivered almonds.
