Thinly Sliced Ribeye with Hummus and Capers
Description
Thinly Sliced Ribeye with Hummus and Capers is a layered dish combining marinated ribeye steak, freshly prepared hummus, and a warm tortilla. The ribeye is thinly sliced and soaked in a marinade incorporating aromatic ingredients like garlic, onion, chili, and fresh parsley, with lemon juice adding brightness. Cooking the steak strips in olive oil yields a juicy texture with a browned exterior.
The hummus provides a creamy, spiced contrast using cooked chickpeas blended with tahini, cumin, garlic, and lemon juice, creating a smooth and slightly tangy dip. Toasting the tortilla over an open flame before serving adds a slight char and warmth that pairs well with both the meat and hummus. Garnishing with sumac and capers introduces a hint of acidity and saltiness, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
This combination could make a flavorful lunch or light dinner, where the tortilla can be used to wrap or scoop the meat and hummus, making it practical for casual eating.

- 100 g rib eye steak thinly sliced

Instructions
- To make the marinade, combine the finely chopped onion, garlic, chili, and parsley with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Thinly slice the rib-eye steak into strips and leave to marinate.
- In a medium size pan over medium heat, heat ½ tablespoon olive oil. Add the beef stripes and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- For the hummus, place all the ingredients in a blender and process until it has a smooth texture. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add water until you get the desired consistency.
- Quickly fry the tortilla over an open flame and drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top.
