Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil divided
12 oz sirloin steak sliced thinly (can use frozen pre-cut sirloin steaks)
2 cups riced cauliflower
2 cups diced white button mushrooms
1 1/3 cups Israeli Pearl Couscous, preferably whole wheat
2 cups vegetable broth
2 teaspoons Cavender’s Greek seasoning
4 cups fresh baby spinach
¼ cup feta cheese crumbles
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Instructions

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet and bring to medium high heat. Add thinly sliced sirloin steak to pan and stir fry, stirring constantly for 3 to 5 minutes until browned.
Transfer cooked beef to a plate to rest and discard any remaining liquid in the skillet.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet and bring back to medium-high heat. Add chopped mushrooms and cauliflower bits and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
Stir in Greek seasoning and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add couscous and vegetable stock, stir to combine, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 8-10 minutes until broth is absorbed.
Remove from heat and stir in spinach until wilted. Top with feta cheese and pine nuts. Serve warm.
