Dukkah is an Egyptian spice consisting of a mix of nuts, seeds and spices. It is traditionally served with olive oil and pita bread for dunking, but we’ve discovered that it also makes a great meat rub. The seared beef is served with a vibrant couscous salad and a sweet and tangy yoghurt, making this a wonderfully refreshing and sustaining dinner.
