Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) Steak (ribeye or sirloin)
• 15 oz (1 can) Garbanzo beans (chickpeas), canned
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 whole Lemon, sliced into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned garbanzo beans in cold water. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the steaks. Sear on one side for 3–4 minutes, until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust for your preferred doneness.

Step 4

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, tented with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until they soften slightly. Sprinkle in the paprika and cumin, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Stir in the garbanzo beans and cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing them to warm through and absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Add the spinach leaves, stirring gently until they wilt, about 1–2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Slice the rested steaks into strips.

Step 10

To serve, divide the garbanzo bean mixture between two plates. Top each with sliced steak. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
