Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Beef (sirloin or flank steak)
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Red onion, sliced
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 units Pita bread (dairy-free)
• 1 unit Sliced cucumber
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 0.25 cup Tahini sauce (optional, dairy-free)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the beef marinade. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a paste.

Step 2

Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Add the beef slices to the marinade bowl, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red onion and marinated beef to the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the beef is cooked through and nicely browned.

Step 4

While the beef is cooking, warm the pita bread in the oven or on a stovetop griddle until soft and pliable.

Step 5

To assemble the shawarma, place a portion of the cooked beef and onions onto each pita. Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Step 6

Drizzle with a little tahini sauce, if desired, before rolling the pita wrap tightly.

Step 7

Serve immediately with additional tahini sauce or fresh salad on the side, if desired.
