4 to taste Garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp Ground cumin

1 tsp Ground coriander

1 tsp Ground paprika

1/2 tsp Ground turmeric

1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon

3 tbs olive oil

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Marinate the Beef

In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for better flavor.

2

Cook the Beef

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef slices and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

3

Prepare the Pita

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or wrap in foil and heat in the oven for a few minutes.

4

Assemble the Shawarma

Place a portion of the cooked beef on each pita bread. Top with tahini sauce, pickles, sliced onions, chopped parsley, and diced tomatoes.

5

Serve

Roll up the pita and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your homemade beef shawarma!
