  1. STEAMED COUSCOUS

    Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with 100ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  2. BUTTERY STEAK

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the steak and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  3. LOAD WITH FLAVOUR

    Add the drained feta, the sliced apple, the chopped cucumber, the diced tomato, and ½ the chopped mint to the fluffy couscous.

  4. MOUTHWATERING MEAL

    Make a bed of the loaded couscous, and top with the sliced steak. Drizzle over the balsamic balsamic vinegar. Garnish with the pomegranate gems, and the remaining mint.
