Shawarma Beef Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the meat is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or sear the beef for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Then, slice the beef thinly against the grain.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Shawarma

    Warm the pita bread on the grill or in a skillet. Place sliced beef on the pita, top with fresh vegetables, and drizzle with tahini sauce if desired. Roll or fold the pita to enclose the filling.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the shawarma beef warm, with extra tahini sauce on the side if desired.
