Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium bell pepper (any color) chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 cup dry couscous
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets

Instructions

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and brown until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, and ginger and saute until vegetables are slightly softened and onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, couscous, and beef broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and couscous is tender. Stir in cauliflower florets for the final 5 minutes of cooking.

Notes

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
  • If your skillet seems to be getting too dry, add a little more beef broth or water.
