Preparation

Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the onion for 3 mins or until softened. Add the squash; cook and stir for 5 mins or until almost tender. Combine the crumbled bouillon cube with 2 cups boiling water in a bowl. Pour over the squash mixture. Bring to a boil. Cook for 2 mins or until tender.
Pour the squash mixture over couscous in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 5 mins or until the liquid is absorbed. Using a fork, fluff and separate the grains.

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the zucchini and the remaining seasoning; cook and stir for 2 mins or until tender. Return the beef to the pan; cook and stir for 30 seconds or until heated through.
Divide the couscous among serving bowls. Top with the beef mixture and mint. Serve with lemon wedges.
