Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup plain yogurt
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 pieces cucumber
• 1 pieces tomato
• 0.5 head lettuce
• 4 pieces pita breads
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 pieces onion

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the beef.

Step 3

Mix well to combine and coat the beef strips with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

While the beef marinates, prepare the garlic sauce by combining plain yogurt and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh parsley and mix it into the yogurt and mayonnaise mixture. Set aside.

Step 6

Dice the cucumber and tomato. Shred the lettuce and thinly slice the onion. Set these aside for the sandwich filling.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated beef strips onto skewers (if using) and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred.

Step 9

Warm the pita breads by placing them on the grill for about 20-30 seconds per side.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwich, open the warm pita breads and spread some garlic sauce inside each.

Step 11

Fill the pita with grilled beef, a portion of diced cucumber, tomato, shredded lettuce, and a few slices of onion.

Step 12

Drizzle more garlic sauce on top before closing each kebab sandwich. Serve immediately while warm.
