Season the beef with garlic, dry chili pepper, salt, jumbo cubes, and fresh black pepper.

Add 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and vegetable oil to help spread the seasoning.

Let the seasoned beef rest for 2 hours to allow flavors to penetrate.

Add splashes of water to the beef and cover to cook at medium-low for 30 to 40 minutes to steam the meat.

Remove the beef from heat and let it cool before preparing skewers.

Thread the beef onto metal or wooden skewers, alternating with yellow, red, and green peppers, and onions.

Prepare a marinade with garlic, pepper, salt, jumbo cubes, onion, and dry red pepper, then add oil and Dijon mustard.

Preheat the grill and oil it to prevent sticking.

Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side to get color and flavor, as the meat is already cooked and tender.

Prepare couscous by mixing 2 pounds of couscous with yellow food coloring powder, salt, and hot water, then cover for 5 minutes.

Make a sauce with diced onions in hot vegetable oil, adding Dijon mustard and water, and caramelize the onions.
