Beef is an iron-rich protein source; it also supplies many of the B vitamins as well as zinc. Served in small quantities, with vegetables and grains, lean beef makes a healthy and flavoursome meal.

- Combine the beef, 2 teaspoons of the oil and the garlic in a small bowl. Heat a wok or a heavy nonstick frying pan over high heat. Add the beef strips in small batches and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove each batch when cooked and allow the pan to reheat before frying the next batch.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Moroccan Couscous as directed, but omit the chickpeas and raisins.
- Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the onion, almonds and sultanas and fry for 1 minute, then return the beef strips.
- Add the turmeric, cumin, sugar, tomatoes and spinach. Toss to heat through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with the couscous.
