supper in a flash!

i love nights when i can just grab some leftovers from the fridge and reinvent them in a quick and delicious way.  with just a pot, a skillet, and the time it takes for water to boil, i can have a complete and satisfying dinner on the table.

i had half of my steak left over from the other night, so i needed to build a meal around that.  i remembered my green beans from the farmers market and blanched them in salted boiling water for about three or four minutes, until they were tender.

with the veg taken care of, i needed a starchy side.  i realized that i had brought a few side dishes from Let's Dish (check out the website.. you'll fall in love!) and pulled the "Pearl Couscous with Roasted Vegetables" side from the freezer and poured a portion of the bag in to a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.  it cooks up in no time at all and is my favorite ready-made side from Let's Dish.

i just seared the steak for a hot second in the pan after i took out my couscous, and just like that-- dinner was served!  it took me 15 minutes, tops, and was super flavorful and very satisfying.  check it out!

enjoy!
