Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas.
- Wash the spinach and set it aside.
2. Cook the Onion:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Prepare the Tomato and Chickpea Mix:
- Add the canned tomatoes (with their juice) to the pan with the onions.
- Stir in the chickpeas.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
4. Cook the Spinach:
- Add the spinach to the pan with the tomato and chickpea mixture.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it keep warm while you prepare the steak.
5. Cook the Steaks:
- Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a separate large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- When the skillet is hot, add the beef fillets.
- Cook the fillets for about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
- Remove the fillets from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
6. Serve:
- Place a generous portion of the tomato, chickpea, and spinach mixture on each plate.
- Top with the cooked beef fillets.

Tips:

- Use a high-quality olive oil to enhance the flavors of the dish.

- Choose a tender cut of beef fillet for the best texture and taste.

- Make sure to drain and rinse the chickpeas to remove any excess sodium or preservatives from the canning process.

- Do not overcook the spinach – it should be wilted but still vibrant green to retain its nutritional value.

- Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes after cooking to maintain its juiciness.
