Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package directions, using 1¼ cups (300 mL) water; stir in ¼ cup (60 mL) of the reserved dressing while fluffing couscous with a fork. Set aside. 3. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade. Pat beef cubes dry with paper towel. Thread beef onto skewers and pepper chunks alternating onto skewers. 4. Grill in a closed preheated barbecue over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, turning to brown all sides, until cooked to 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare at the least (or 160°F/71°C for medium, or 170°F/77°C for well-done). 5. Meanwhile, stir remaining reserved dressing into yogurt for dipping sauce. Serve grilled brochettes with couscous and dipping sauce.

Tip
