Soho Mediterranean

Bacon Steak

Le Paysan

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, paprika, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding water if needed to achieve desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Make the Hummus

Slice the zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion into strips. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the vegetables until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Grill the Vegetables

Slice the halloumi cheese into thick slices. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Grill the Halloumi

Spread a generous amount of hummus on a serving plate. Arrange the grilled vegetables and halloumi on top. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with additional paprika if desired.

Slice the onion into rings and chop the bacon into small pieces.

Prepare the Ingredients

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.

Cook the Bacon

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Sauté the Onions

Season the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. In the skillet with the bacon grease, add the olive oil and increase the heat to high. Add the steaks and cook to your preferred doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Cook the Steak

Once the steaks are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Top each steak with the sautéed onions, cooked bacon, and cheddar cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes.

Combine and Melt Cheese

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the bacon steaks hot, garnished with extra onion or bacon if desired.
