Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, black pepper, salt, and olive oil. Mix well. Add the beef sirloin and coat it with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread slightly. Place a generous amount of sliced beef in each pita. Top with sliced onions, pickles, and a sprinkle of sumac. Drizzle tahini and lemon juice over the filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Wrap the pita sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Beef Shawarma Sandwich!
