Sauteed Beef over Couscous

I had never made couscous in my life, so I used a boxed version.  I bought the Veggie Couscous and it was very good.  The beef....that's all me!

Sautéed Beef over Couscous

1 box Veggie Couscous - prepared according to directions

1 eye of round steak, cut into very small, thin slices
1 green bell pepper, sliced into very thin slices (seeds removed)
1 small white onion, sliced into very thin slices
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. real butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. Italian Seasonings
Water - Enough to keep the meat constantly covered until time to make the gravy
1/2 cup mushroom slices (optional)

1/4 cup of water + 2 heaping Tbsp. cornstarch to thicken gravy

Cut beef into very small, thin slices.  Melt butter in a deep skillet and add beef, bell pepper slices and onion.  Saute' for a few minutes to brown the beef.  Add Worcestershire, garlic, soy sauce, seasonings and enough water to cover the meat.  Cook over medium heat for about 2 hours.  Check about every 15 or 20 minutes to make sure the water has not boiled away.  If it does, just continue to add more hot water.

Once the meat is fork tender, allow some of the water to boil away by removing the lid.  Once it is reduced to about 1/2 of what it was, thicken the gravy by adding a mixture of 1/4 cup water and 2 heaping Tbsp. cornstarch.  Stir immediately until it thickens.  Remove from heat and serve over the Couscous..

Enjoy!
