Method

Beef Shawarma Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and yogurt. Add the beef sirloin, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and 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 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Rice Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine basmati rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Hummus Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine canned chickpeas (drained), tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    Dice cucumber, tomato, and red onion; chop parsley. In a bowl, mix together the diced vegetables. Drizzle with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.
