Feta Sauce:
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon water, or more as needed
Couscous:
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups Israeli (large pearl) couscous
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon baharat (Middle Eastern spice mix)
Kebabs:
12 ounces beef top sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon baharat (Middle Eastern spice mix)
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 portobello mushrooms, stem and ribs removed, cut into 1-inch pieces

1
To make the feta sauce, stir together feta, yogurt, lemon juice, and zest in a small bowl. Add enough water to thin to desired consistency.
2
To prepare the couscous, bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add couscous. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until couscous is tender and broth is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Add pomegranate seeds, pistachios, mint, and baharat. Toss to combine.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (325 to 375 degrees F (160 to 190 degrees C)). Sprinkle steak cubes with baharat; toss to coat. Thread steak, bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, and mushrooms onto eight 10-inch metal skewers (or bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water at least 30 minutes).
4
Grill kebabs, turning once or twice, until vegetables are tender and meat is just pink in center, or until desired doneness, 8 to 12 minutes. Serve kebabs with couscous and feta sauce on the side.
