Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.

- 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.

- 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.
- 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.

- Remove the fillets from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Place a generous portion of the tomato, chickpea, and spinach mixture on each plate.
- Top with the cooked beef fillets.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
