PREPARATION

• 1

  Season the top sirloin steak evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 2

  Place the dry couscous in a small heat-proof bowl and pour the boiling water over it.

  Cover the bowl immediately and let the couscous sit for 5 minutes, then fluff it gently with a fork.

• 4

  Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 5

  Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your preferred doneness is reached.

• 6

  Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to keep the juices intact.

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fluffed couscous, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley.

  Whisk the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and lemon juice together, then toss with the couscous mixture until well combined.
