Instructions
- 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the beef cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
- 3
Thread the beef cubes, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers.
- 4
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

While the skewers are grilling, prepare the couscous. In a medium bowl, combine the couscous with the hot broth and a pinch of salt. Stir once, then cover and let stand for 5 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- 6
Serve the grilled beef and vegetable skewers immediately over a bed of fluffy couscous. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
