What you need
500-600g rump steak
250ml chicken stock
1 ½ cups dry couscous
Palm of chopped dried apricots
Palm of raisins
1 small onion finely sliced
Palm of chopped mint leaves
Palm of chopped dill
Palm of pine nuts
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
150ml of your favorite salad dressing (not a creamy dressing)
The process
Heat a frying pan on a high heat and toss in the pine nuts and cumin seeds. Toss them around a bit until the pine nuts have a nice golden color to them. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Bring the chicken stock to a boil, remove from heat and add the couscous. Leave to stand and absorb all of the stock while you cook the steak to your liking. Remember to season with salt and pepper.
Set the steak aside to rest, use a fork to break up the couscous grains and place them in a large bowl. Add the apricots, cumin and pine nuts, mint, raisins, dill and finely chopped onion. Mix them all together, then spoon onto a plate, top with slices of rump and drizzle over a little of the salad dressing.
It makes a fantastic summer meal. Enjoy.
