Cumin is one of our favorite spices to cook with because it has tons of deep, earthy flavor without any heat. Its effect is subtle yet unmistakable, elevating steak to new heights in this recipe. It also loves a good contrast: here, it embraces a pucker-y scallion dressing with lemon and the veggie flavors of spinach and red pepper tossed with couscous.

Instructions

Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Bring stock concentrate and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium pot. Core and seed bell pepper, then thinly slice. Mince or grate garlic. Trim scallions, then separate whites from greens. Thinly slice whites. Finely mince greens. Zest lemon until you have ½ tsp zest, then cut into halves.

Cook Couscous
2

Once liquid is boiling, add couscous to pot. Cook, uncovered, until al dente, 10-11 minutes.

Cook Veggies
3

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and cook, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add scallion whites and garlic to pan. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute longer. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.

Cook Steak
4

Pat steak dry with a paper towel. Season all over with cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside to rest.

Make Salad and Dressing
5

Add veggie mixture, spinach, lemon zest, and a drizzle of oil to pot with couscous. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix scallion greens, a large drizzle of oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
