    1 Thread beef onto skewers. Rub satay sauce over the meat to coat.

    2 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over a medium-high heat. Cook beef skewers, turning occasionally, for 5-6 minutes, or until beef is cooked to your liking.

    3 Meanwhile, in a heatproof bowl, place couscous. Add 1 cup boiling water. Cover and stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a fork to separate couscous grains. Add dates and parsley. Season with cracked black pepper. Stir mixture to combine.

    4 Cook vegetables following packet instructions. Drain. Serve skewers with couscous, veges, lemon and scattered parsley.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use cooked rice instead of couscous and check satay sauce is gluten free.

    Make it vegan: Use Fry’s Chargrilled Beefstyle Strips, tofu or tempeh and check satay sauce is vegan.
