Ingredients

  • For the hummus:
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 24 tbsp cold water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional)
  • For the steak:
  • 1 lb flank or sirloin steak
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for finishing)
  • Optional garnish & sides:
  • Chopped parsley or sumac
  • Pita bread or flatbread
  • Sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, or olives
  • Extra olive oil and paprika for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin (if using) until smooth. While blending, drizzle in olive oil and cold water until creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  2. Pat steak dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side until desired doneness. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. Squeeze lemon juice over the top.
  4. Spread hummus on a plate. Arrange steak slices on or beside it. Garnish with parsley or sumac, olive oil, and paprika if desired.
  5. Serve with pita and your choice of veggies or sides.

Notes

  • Make hummus up to 2 days ahead for deeper flavor.
  • Add harissa or chili flakes to hummus for spice.
  • Use grilled chicken, lamb, or roasted veggies instead of steak.
  • Store hummus up to 5 days; steak for 3–4 days separately.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature—great for leftovers and meal prep.
