Instructions

1. Prepare Couscous Salad: Place the couscous in a large mixing bowl. In a medium saucepan, bring the beef broth to a boil. Add the asparagus, peas, leeks, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Return to a boil, then turn off the heat. Pour the broth mixture over the couscous, stir to combine, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and set aside.

2. Grill Filet Mignon: Preheat the grill. Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness. Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes.

3. Finish Couscous Salad: Using a fork, fluff the couscous lightly to separate the grains. Stir in the lemon zest and parsley.

4. Serve the grilled steaks with the couscous salad.

Notes

Resting Time: Allow the filet mignon to rest for 5 minutes after grilling to retain juices and enhance flavor.

Couscous Fluffing: Fluff the couscous with a fork to ensure a light and fluffy texture.

Pairing Suggestion: Serve with a light red wine such as Pinot Noir or a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc to complement the flavors.
