BEEF WITH APPLE COUSCOUS

1 Pound beef, top sirloin steak
1 Teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin)
2 Medium red bell peppers, chopped
1 Medium onion, chopped
1 Dash of salt and black pepper each, or to taste
1 Tablespoon curry powder
1 Cup water
¾ Cup apple juice
2 Teaspoons beef bouillon
1 Cup couscous
1 Medium tart apple, sliced
1/3 Cup peanuts

Trim fat from steak. Lightly sprinkle steak with salt and black pepper. Place steak on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill until desired doneness, turning once. Allow 14 to 18 minutes for medium-rare doneness (145F) or 18 to 22 minutes for medium doneness (160F). Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add sweet peppers and onion; cook for 5 minutes. Add curry powder. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the water, apple juice, and bouillon granules. Bring to boiling. Stir in couscous and apple; remove from heat. Cover and let stand about 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. To serve, fluff couscous mixture with a fork. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve steak slices over couscous mixture. Sprinkle with peanuts. Serve with Mideastern flatbread, if desired.
