Preparation

Marinating the Beef
In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef flank steak to the bowl, ensuring it is well-coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

Cooking the Beef
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and grill or sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness. Remove the beef from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Assembling the Shawarma
To serve, spread a layer of hummus on each piece of pita bread. Top with sliced beef, cucumber, diced tomato, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Drizzle with tahini sauce and wrap the pita around the filling.
