Ras el hanout Beef Skillet

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the ras el hanout elements, and pat the beef dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the beef. Stir-fry over the highest heat, keeping everything moving, until just cooked and glossy.

Stir in the couscous and the rest of the ras el hanout flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the courgette along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
