FLUFFY COUSCOUS
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 5-8 minutes until tender. Once cooked, season, toss through the lemon zest, and fluff up with a fork.
POPPIN’ PUMPKIN
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
GORGEOUS TOSS UP
Mix together ½ of the chopped mint, lemon juice to taste, olive oil, and seasoning to make a dressing. In a salad bowl, add the diced tomato, sliced cucumber, sliced radish, sliced spring onion, ½ of the sumac, and the cooked couscous. Toss together with the salad dressing (to taste).
SIZZLIN’ SIRLOIN
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the sirloin dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the steak fat-side down, for 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then, fry for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preference (this time frame may depend on the thickness of the steak). During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter (optional) and the remaining sumac. Remove from the pan on completion and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.
SIRLOIN & FATTOUSH DUO
Plate up a hearty spoonful of the gorgeous fattoush-style salad. Top with the sumac-basted sirloin slices, side with the rinsed salad leaves, and sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds and remaining mint. Serve with a lemon wedge. Healthy & hearty!
