* 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Beef Kebabs with Pomegranate Couscous
Ingredients
Feta Sauce:
* 50 gram feta cheese, crumbled
* ¼ cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
* 1 teaspoon lemon juice
* ½ teaspoon lemon zest
* 1 tablespoon water, or more as needed
Couscous:
* 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
* 1 ½ cups Israeli (large pearl) couscous
* cup pomegranate seeds
* ¼ cup chopped pistachios
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
* 1 teaspoon baharat (Middle Eastern spice mix)
Kebabs:
* 350-gram beef top sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1 tablespoon baharat (Middle Eastern spice mix)
* 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
* 1 cup cherry tomatoes
* 1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
* 2 portobello mushrooms, stem and ribs removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
Directions
* To make the feta sauce, stir together feta, yogurt, lemon juice, and zest in a small bowl. Add enough water to thin to desired consistency.
* To prepare the couscous, bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add couscous. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until couscous is tender and broth is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Add pomegranate seeds, pistachios, mint, and baharat. Toss to combine.
* Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat 160 to 190 degrees Celsius). Sprinkle steak cubes with baharat; toss to coat. Thread steak, bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, and mushrooms onto eight 10-inch metal skewers (or bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes).
* Grill kebabs, turning once or twice, until vegetables are tender and meat is just pink in center, or until desired doneness, 8 to 12 minutes. Serve kebabs with couscous and feta sauce on the side.
