Preparation Instructions
Marinate the Meat
In a large bowl, combine the beef, lamb, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, black pepper, salt, olive oil, and white vinegar. Mix well to coat the meat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Prepare the Vertical Broiler
If using a vertical broiler, preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. If not, prepare a grill or oven.
Slice the Meat
Once cooked, remove the meat from the broiler and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the meat thinly against the grain.
Assemble the Shawarma
Warm the pita bread. Place a generous amount of sliced meat on each pita. Top with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of yogurt.
Serve
Serve immediately with additional yogurt on the side.
