MOROCCAN SKIRT STEAK W/ROASTED PEPPER COUSCOUS (ZWT-9)
Entered for ZWT-9, this is the 2nd of 3 recipes from an article at the Eating Well website titled "Healthy Couscous Recipes". Per the recipe intro: "Thin cuts of beef (such as skirt steak or sirloin steak) cook very quickly when seared in a hot skillet -- Just right for a busy weeknight. We love how the spicy Moroccan flavors of the steak compliment the sweet, roasted pepper-studded couscous. Serve w/an Arugula salad & a glass of Pinot Noir." Prep & Cook times were noted as an identical total, but I have allowed an extra 10 min for ingredient assembly. Enjoy!

Cook the steak 2 to 3 min per side for med-rare. Let rest on the cutting board for 5 minute Stir olives & the peppers into the couscous.
