Ingredients:

For the Beef and Stew:
  • 2 lbs of Halal-N-Tayyib grass-fed beef stew meat, beef shoulder roasts, or cow's head cheek meat cut into small pieces.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric (optional, for color)
  • 1-2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground saffron (optional, for added depth)
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 cups beef broth or water
  • 2-3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 zucchinis, chopped into chunks
  • 1-2 tomatoes, chopped (or 1 can of diced tomatoes)
  • 1/2 cup raisins or dried apricots (optional, adds a nice sweetness)
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
For the Couscous:
  • 2 cups couscous
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 cups boiling water or broth

Instructions:

1. Brown the beef:
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
2. Sauté the aromatics:
  • In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the spices:
  • Add the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, black pepper, saffron (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
  • Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to help bring out their flavors.
4. Add the liquid and beef:
  • Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth (or water). Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
5. Add the vegetables and fruit:
  • Once the beef is tender, add the carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, raisins (or dried apricots), and chickpeas to the pot. Stir well.
  • Cover the pot again and simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the flavors are well combined.
6. Prepare the couscous:
  • While the stew is cooking, prepare the couscous. Place the couscous in a large bowl.
  • Boil 2 cups of water or broth and pour it over the couscous. Add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Stir to combine.
  • Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the couscous steam for 5-10 minutes.
  • After the couscous has absorbed the liquid, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.
7. Serve:
  • To serve, place a generous amount of couscous on a large serving platter or individual plates.
  • Ladle the beef and vegetable stew over the couscous, ensuring that some of the rich sauce is absorbed into the grains.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Optional Garnishes:

  • A drizzle of olive oil or a few lemon wedges can brighten the dish.

Tips:
  • If you prefer a more spicy version, you can add some chopped green chili peppers or a dash of harissa paste to the stew for extra heat.
  • You can also prepare this dish in advance. The flavors deepen and improve after sitting for a day or two in the fridge.
