How to Make Oriental Beef And Couscous
- Cook 1 cup couscous according to package directions, omitting margarine/butter and salt. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apricot preserves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
- Thinly slice 1 pound beef sirloin steak on the bias into bite-sized strips.
- Place beef strips in a 1 1/2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish.
- Cover and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, or until tender, stirring after 3 minutes. Remove beef and discard any juices.
- Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup sliced green bell pepper, 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper, and 2 green onions (thinly sliced) to the casserole dish.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
- Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until peppers are crisp-tender, stirring every minute.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
- Add the vinegar-cornstarch mixture to the casserole dish. Stir in the cooked beef.
- Microwave uncovered on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and bubbly, stirring every minute.
- Serve the beef and vegetable mixture over the cooked couscous. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
