Roast Beef With Couscous Food

SLOW-COOKER MOROCCAN BEEF STEW WITH COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Stir the carrots, celery root and 1/2 cup prunes in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Toss the beef with the ras el hanout, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Arrange on top of the vegetables. Whisk the chicken broth and tomato paste in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup and pour over the meat and vegetables. Cover and cook on low until the meat is tender, 7 to 8 hours.
• About 15 minutes before serving, cook the couscous as the label directs.
• Skim the fat off the top of the stew with a ladle and discard. Stir in the harissa and season with salt and pepper. Divide the couscous and stew among bowls. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup prunes and cilantro; serve with more harissa.

ROAST BEEF WITH COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Place beef in an 8- by 12-inch roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, mix wine, hoisin sauce, garlic, and coriander; brush evenly over beef.
• Roast in a 425 degree oven until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast registers 135 degrees for rare (about 35 minutes; after 25 minutes, check temperature every 5 minutes).
• During roasting, brush beef 4 times with wine mixture.
• If pan drippings begin to burn, add 4 to 6 tablespoons water to pan and stir to loosen browned bits.
• Transfer beef to a board and cover loosely.
• Combine any remaining wine mixture and all the pan juices, then measure; add enough broth to make 2 1/2 cups total.
• Pour broth mixture into roasting pan; bring to a boil stirring to loosen browned bits.
• Add couscous; return to a boil, stirring.
• Remove pan from heat, cover tightly with foil, and let stand until liquid is absorbed (about 5 minutes).
• Stir in peas, onions, and any juices that have accumulated around beef.

ROAST BEEF AND COUSCOUS SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the carrots and onion on a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Roast until tender and slightly golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the couscous as the label directs, adding the raisins in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain the couscous and raisins and rinse under cold water. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the harissa, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 to 3 tablespoons water until smooth. Put the escarole in a large bowl and add the roasted carrots and onion; toss to wilt the greens slightly. Add the couscous-raisin mixture, the dressing and the roast beef and toss to coat. Divide the salad among plates.

• Put couscous into a large bowl, pour over the stock, cover, then set aside for 10 mins. Fluff up with a fork.
• In a bowl, mix zest, juice and remaining oil. Squeeze garlic pulp from skins into the bowl, mash well and fold in the mint. Pour over the veg, then toss with the couscous.

ROAST BEEF AND COUSCOUS ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan bring 1 cup water to a boil with 1 tablespoon of the oil and the salt, stir in the couscous, and let the mixture stand off the heat, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the vinegar, the celery, the Parmesan, the scallion, the orange juice, the parsley, and salt and black pepper to taste and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Press about 2 tablespoons of the couscous mixture in the palm of one hand, forming a log, and arrange it across a short end of 1 roast beef slice. Arrange 1 pepper strip along each side of the log and roll up the couscous and the bell pepper tightly in the roast beef. With a sharp knife cut the roll into 1-inch lengths, trimming the ends. Make rolls with the remaining roast beef, couscous mixture, and bell pepper in the same manner. (The rolls may be prepared 8 hours in advance and kept wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled.) Line a platter with the lettuce and arrange the rolls on top.
