Crush or finely chop the garlic. Cut the onion into thin wedges. Thinly slice the capsicum. Halve the carrot lengthwise and thinly slice. Juice half the lemon*.
Step 2 — Prep pork
PORK STEAK OPTION Combine the garlic, Moroccan seasoning and 2 tsp olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the pork and turn to coat.
Step 3 — Make couscous
Put the couscous and 20g chopped butter in a large heatproof bowl, pour over 200ml boiling water and cover with a plate. Stand for 5 mins or until the water is absorbed. Season with salt and pepper and fluff with a fork.
Step 4 — Cook vegetables
Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp olive oil in a medium frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, capsicum and carrot, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins or until softened.
Step 5 — Cook pork
While the vegetables are cooking, heat a separate medium frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, turning regularly, for 8-10 mins until golden and cooked through. (The pork steaks will be cooked to blush pink, which is desired to ensure the meat is tender and juicy.) Remove from the pan and rest for 4 mins.
Step 6 — Get ready to serve
Combine the red pesto, lemon juice and 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the couscous, vegetables and rocket and stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork. Divide the couscous salad and pork among plates and drizzle with any resting juices to serve.
