Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the carrot and beetroot into small chunks. Cut the red onion into wedges. Place the carrot, beetroot and onion on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with the garlic & herb seasoning, salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
While the veggies are roasting, heat a large saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast the Israeli couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. Half-fill the pan with boiling water, then add the chicken-style stock powder. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
While the couscous is cooking, finely chop the garlic. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, dried oregano and a drizzle of olive oil. Season, then add the beef strips and toss to coat. Set aside. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toast the sesame seeds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, then add the honey and stir to combine. Set aside.
Return the empty frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and return beef to the pan, then add the honey-sesame mixture and cook, tossing until the beef is well coated and cooked through, 1 minute.
Add the roasted veggies and baby spinach leaves to the couscous. Toss to coat and season to taste.
Divide the roast veggie Israeli couscous between bowls. Top with the herbed honey and sesame-coated beef. Spoon over any excess glaze from the pan. Crumble over the cheese (see ingredients) to serve.
