Beef Shawarma

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Add the rib-eye steak and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove the rib-eye from the marinade and place on a baking tray. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 57°C (135°F) for medium rare. Let it rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tahini Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and a little water to achieve the desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shallots

    While the beef is roasting, heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and grill until they are caramelized and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Prepare fries according to package instructions or make homemade fries. Serve hot.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the rested rib-eye thinly. Serve on a plate with grilled shallots, diced tomato, chopped parsley, pickles, fries, and mixed greens. Drizzle tahini sauce over the beef.
