Method
Meat Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Meats
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs and beef sirloin. In a separate bowl, mix together ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, olive oil, and lemon juice to form a marinade. Pour the marinade over the meats and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cook the Meats
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest. Grill the beef for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest.
Sauce Preparation

Make the Garlic Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, tahini, water, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the water for desired consistency if necessary.
