Ingredients
- 340 g lean beef mince

- 1 tbsp olive oil

Method, step by step
- Chop the onion and cut the pepper and courgette into thin strips. If you have lean beef steak, cut it into strips; if it is ground, crumble it.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sauté the onion for 3 minutes; add the pepper and courgette and cook for 5 minutes over high heat.
- Turn up the heat, add the beef, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned; add the crushed tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook for 4 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the couscous in a bowl with an equal volume of hot water and a pinch of salt, cover for 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork. Mix it with the beef and vegetable sauté and serve hot.
