Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Beef Fillet: If the beef fillet is not already cut, trim any excess fat.
- Cucumber: Peel the cucumber if desired. Cut it into small, bite-sized chunks.
- Tomato: Dice the tomato into small pieces.
- Chickpeas: Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly if using canned chickpeas. If using dried chickpeas, ensure they are cooked until tender.
- You can season the beef fillet with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. Allow it to marinate for about 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Place the beef fillet on the preheated grill.
- Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preference for doneness.
- Once grilled to your liking, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, chopped tomato, and chickpeas.
- Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
- Toss gently until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the rested steak into thin pieces.
- Serve the grilled steak slices alongside the tomato and chickpea salad on a plate.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added flavor and color.
- Your delicious grilled steak with tomato and chickpea salad is ready to enjoy. Serve it immediately while the steak is still warm.
Tips:
- Ensure the beef fillet is at room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
- Season the steak generously with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavor.
- Preheat the grill to high heat to achieve a nice sear on the steak.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the salad to get the best flavor.
- If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them well to reduce sodium content.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the salad for a tangy kick.
Grilled steak with tomato and chickpea salad is a simple yet sumptuous meal that balances hearty protein with fresh vegetables.
