How to make it, step by step

1. Chop the onion and cut the bell pepper and zucchini into thin strips. If you have lean beef steak, cut it into strips; if it is ground, crumble it.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion for 3 minutes; add the bell pepper and zucchini and cook for 5 minutes over high heat.
3. 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.
4. 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.
