Number Of Ingredients 22

Nonstick cooking spray
Leftover beef from Beef Kebabs, about 6 cubes, recipe follows
1/2 cucumber, diced
1/4 cup leftover yogurt marinade from Beef Kebabs, recipe follows
2 pita pockets
1/2 cup leftover Spicy Couscous from from Beef Kebabs, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoon hot sauce
3 pounds bottom round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large yellow onion, chopped in large chucks slightly large than beef cubes
8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for about 20 minutes
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups chicken broth
1 (10-ounce) box couscous
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and spray pan with nonstick cooking spray. Grill kebabs 3 minutes per side until medium-rare.
  • In a small bowl combine cucumbers and leftover reserved yogurt marinade.
  • Slice the top off the pita pockets. Fill the pockets with the beef, couscous and yogurt cucumber mixture. Place on serving dishes and serve.
  • In a large bowl whisk together canola oil, garlic, yogurt, cumin, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Reserve half the marinade, in a covered bowl, and refrigerate. Add beef cubes to remaining marinade, cover and refrigerate for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high heat. Be sure to oil the grill surface before grilling the kebabs.
  • Thread beef cubes and onion pieces onto skewers, alternating 3 pieces of beef and onion per skewer. Set aside extra beef cubes. Place skewers on the grill pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  • Place kebabs on a serving platter along with Spicy Couscous. Drizzle with some of the reserved marinade and serve.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Saute garlic with red pepper flakes for 2 minutes being careful not to burn garlic. Add the chicken broth, turn up heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and fluff with fork. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
