Vegetables & Sauce

Method

Prepare Beef Shawarma

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a bowl, combine beef sirloin with minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef for 5-7 minutes on each side until it reaches desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

Prepare Hummus Sauce

  1. 3

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding water as necessary to achieve desired consistency.

Assemble Shawarma Pita

  1. 4

    Fill Pita

    Take the pita bread and spread a generous amount of hummus sauce inside. Add sliced beef shawarma, followed by shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and pickled turnips. Drizzle with Signature Boustan sauce.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Close the pita, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy with your choice of garlic potatoes, soup, or salad, along with a bottled beverage.
