Posted by Chef Jim on April 15, 2010 | Comments Off
Here’s what you need:
2 lbs. Top sirloin beef
¼ cup celery, diced
2/3 cup dry mustard
¼ cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
6 Tbsp. dried oregano
¼ cup red bell pepper, diced
¼ cup chili powder
¼ cup jalapeño, seeded and diced
2 Tbsp. coarsely ground pepper
1 oz. white vinegar
2 cups no-salt added tomatoes
2 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tsp. sugar or Splenda
½ cup onion, chopped
1 tsp. each onion powder, garlic powder
1 8 oz. box couscous, prepared according to packaged directions
Here’s how to make it:
Combine dry mustard, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder and black pepper. Generously rub beef loin with this dry rub. Place beef loin in heavy cast iron skillet over very high heat and cook to desired doneness, turning constantly and removing any fat that accumulates in the pan.
In a large saucepan, combine tomatoes, black beans, onion, celery, corn, red bell pepper, jalapeño, white vinegar, cilantro, sugar, onion and garlic powders. Over medium heat, stir and heat salsa. Reduce heat to low and hold until ready to serve.
Slice beef into thin slices or medallions. Place atop half cup of couscous and top with 2 ounces of salsa mixture.
