1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g
2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup scallions
50g
1 tbsp vinegar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Green Beans:
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
- Add the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Drain them and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chickpea Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, diced tomatoes, basil leaves, and sliced scallions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss well to combine. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the steak.
3. Cook the Minute Steaks:
- Pat the beef fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with a short burst of cooking spray oil.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
- Add the beef fillets to the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on desired doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 130°F (54°C).
4. Serve:

5. Enjoy:

Tips:

- Ensure the beef fillets are at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.

- Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the salad to maintain their bright green color and crisp texture.

- Rinse canned chickpeas thoroughly to reduce sodium content and improve flavor.

- Use a high-quality olive oil for the dressing to enhance the overall taste of the salad.

- Chop the garlic finely to ensure it distributes evenly and infuses the salad with just the right amount of flavor.
