Beef Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade. Add the beef, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, 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 per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap in foil and heat in the oven for a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place some sliced beef in the center of each pita. Top with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, and drizzle with tahini sauce. Fold the pita around the fillings and serve immediately.
