Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Add the beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Beef

  1. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and grill or sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Slice the Beef

    Once rested, slice the beef thinly against the grain.

Prepare the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the beef is resting, prepare the vegetables by slicing the onion, dicing the tomato and cucumber, and chopping the parsley. Place them in a serving bowl.

Assemble the Plate

  1. 6

    Assemble the Shawarma Plate

    To serve, place sliced beef on a plate alongside the prepared vegetables, pita bread, and drizzle tahini sauce over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
