Method
Marinating the Protein
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.

Marinate the Chicken/Beef
Add the chicken thighs or beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.
Cooking the Protein
- 3
Preheat the Grill or Oven
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (approximately 200°C/400°F).

Cook the Protein
Remove the marinated chicken or beef from the refrigerator. Grill or bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the meat is fully cooked and has nice char marks. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F), while beef can be cooked to your desired doneness.
Serving

Assemble the Shawarma
Once the protein is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. Serve it with warm pita bread, tahini sauce, and the prepared garnishes (tomato, cucumber, onion, and parsley) on the side.
