Spice-Rubbed Steak With Carrots and Couscous - RecipeNode.com

Ingredients



1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed, lightly crushed
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more
12 ounces kansas city steaks (or other lean, thin steaks, 12 oz total)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 cup peeled baby carrots, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
3/4 cup chicken broth or 3/4 cup vegetable broth
1/3 cup dry couscous
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves









Directions for Spice-Rubbed Steak With Carrots and Couscous Recipe



Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Trim any side fat from the steaks and rub the spice mixture all over them. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes.
Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat and brush with 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Sear the steaks until beginning to char on the outside and still pink inside, 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any brown bits, until slightly softened, 4-5 minutes.
Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the couscous, lemon juice, and lemon peel and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, cover tightly, and let steam until tender, 5-6 minutes.
To serve, fluff the couscous mixture with a fork and divide in the center of 3 plates. Slice the steaks across the grain into very thin strips and mound on top of the couscous. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter cilantro leaves on top. Serve right away.
