This Hummus with Beef recipe is a simple, authentic and popular Lebanese dish. Hummus with beef is a perfect appetizer, side dish or even a low carb meal by itself!

Take your simple hummus dip to another level, top it with a perfectly spiced beef, onion and pine nuts. This recipe incorporates the hummus recipe I posted a while back. As for the beef, you can use ground beef if you like, I prefer to mince a tender thin cut steak. I like the texture contrast created by the chunks of minced beef and creamy hummus.
