In a medium pot, sauté re-hydrated beef and vegetables in oil for 2 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups water (use reserve from re-hydrating vegetables) and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until meat is tender, about 10 minutes. Add spices, dates and lemon juice. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve hot over couscous. If cooking over a single burner, the water for the couscous should be brought to boil before the spice and date mixture is added to the beef and vegetables.
