Instructions
1
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the couscous with boiling water. Cover and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the grains to absorb the water and soften.
2
While the couscous is resting, heat a wok over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Toast them for about 30 seconds until they become aromatic and golden. Transfer the toasted seeds to a small bowl and set aside.
3
Increase the heat to high and add the thinly sliced rump steak to the wok. Stir-fry until the beef is browned on all sides, approximately 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a separate small bowl.
4
In the same wok, add the red onion and stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened. Then add the crushed garlic, quartered bok choy, and sliced chili. Stir-fry for an additional minute until the bok choy is wilted.
5
Pour in the beef stock, oyster sauce, and light soy sauce, mixing well with the vegetables. Add the cooked beef back to the wok and stir-fry everything until heated through.
6
Remove the wok from heat and gently fold in the sliced snow peas until just mixed.
7
Fluff the couscous with a fork and serve on plates, topped with the flavorful stir-fry. Generously sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds for an added crunch.
