Beef Marinade

Method

Beef Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade mixture and toss well to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Beef

  1. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in batches (to avoid overcrowding) and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

  2. 4

    Rest the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into smaller pieces.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take a piece of pita bread or flatbread and layer with a generous amount of tahini sauce, followed by the cooked beef, chopped fresh vegetables, parsley, and pickles.

  2. 6

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the pita or flatbread over the filling, wrap it tightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Beef Shawarma Sandwich!
