Preparation
Start the skillet
In a large, high-sided pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the pork; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 2 to 3 min., until browned and partially cooked.
Continue the skillet
To the pan of pork, add the squash. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until the pork* is cooked through and the squash is tender.
Finish the skillet
Quarter the broccoli. To the pan of pork and squash, add the couscous; stir gently to separate. Add 2 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions), the demi-glace, remaining spices and S&P. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until partially cooked. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until tender. Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and the cheese; stir well.
