Ingredients

  • For the hummus:
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2–3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2–4 tablespoons cold water (to thin)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • For the steak:
  • 1 lb sirloin, flank, or ribeye steak
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or sumac (optional)
  • To serve:
  • Fresh parsley
  • Olive oil drizzle
  • Pita bread or flatbread
  • Optional toppings: pine nuts, chili flakes, pickled onions

Instructions

  1. Make the hummus: In a food processor, blend chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add cold water gradually to reach a creamy, spreadable consistency. Add cumin if using. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Cook the steak: Pat steak dry. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
  5. Let steak rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  6. Assemble: Spread hummus on a plate or board. Top with warm steak slices.
  7. Drizzle with olive oil, garnish with parsley and optional toppings. Serve with pita or flatbread.

Notes

  • Add roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes to the hummus for extra depth.
  • Top with harissa or chili oil for spice.
  • Serve with rice, grilled veggies, or salad for a heartier meal.
  • Swap steak for grilled chicken or lamb.
  • Top with crumbled feta for a creamy, salty addition.
