Couscous and Steak Bowl Recipe

Today, we are sharing a super simple, yet very tasty and filling frugal recipe with you today. The idea is just too genius for busy moms and dads, gives the nutrition needed and makes for a delicious meal. 

We make 1lb. of steak work for our family. Even with our family size, we have always made one pound of meat work for our family. It means saving money when we can each have a couple of ounces. But you can use whatever amount you want. 

This is also a fast dinner – which is really nice for those busy weeknights!
