This recipe is a delicious all-in-one dinner, packed with the powerful protein that lean Canadian beef provides along with the goodness of grains and grilled veggies. It features a zingy lemon dressing that works as a 3-for-1 bonus: you get a marinade for the meat, dressing for the couscous and dipping sauce for the brochettes.

Preparation

Prep: 5 minutes • Marinating: 15 minutes • Cook: 10 minutes

1. Combine 1/2 cup (125 mL) water, garlic, green onions, cilantro, lemon rind and juice, curry paste, olive oil, gingerroot and salt. Remove about 1/2 cup (125 mL) and set aside. In large sealable freezer bag, toss beef with remaining mixture; refrigerate for 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package directions, using 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) water; stir in 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the reserved dressing. Set aside. Alternately thread beef and pepper chunks onto skewers, discarding marinade.

3. Grill or broil brochettes using medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side or until medium-rare. Meanwhile, stir remaining reserved dressing into yogurt for dipping sauce. Serve grilled brochettes with couscous and dipping sauce.
