Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lb flank steak

5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro (about 1 large bunch)
1 small clove garlic
1/2 tsp ground cumin

Meanwhile, make the pesto: Puree the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the cilantro, garlic, cumin, paprika, 3 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor or blender until smooth.
Toss the chickpeas, carrots, scallions, the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of the pesto in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve with the chickpea salad and the remaining pesto.
