Beef Shawarma

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced Angus beef, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Grill the Beef

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef slices and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before shaving into smaller pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take a piece of Lebanese pita bread and spread a generous amount of tahini sauce on it. Add a portion of the grilled beef, followed by slices of tomato and onion. Roll up the pita to enclose the filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the beef shawarma sandwiches warm with extra tahini sauce on the side, if desired.
