Marinade

Method

Preparing the Marinade

  1. 1

    Combine Marinade Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Shawarma

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Beef

    Remove the beef from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Place the beef on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and has nice grill marks.

  3. 5

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

Assembling the Shawarma

  1. 6

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread or flatbreads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side until soft and pliable.

  2. 7

    Fill the Shawarma

    Place a generous amount of the sliced beef in the center of each pita. Top with diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, chopped parsley, tahini sauce, and pickles.

  3. 8

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the sides of the pita over the filling and wrap it tightly. Serve immediately while warm.
