Directions
Step 1
1. Slice the beef sirloin steak into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
2. In a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground allspice, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to create the marinade.

Step 5
5. Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.
Step 6
6. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of tahini sauce or toum down the center of each pita bread. Add cooked steak strips, tomato slices, cucumber slices, pickles, parsley, and onions (if using).
Step 7
7. Roll or fold the pita bread tightly around the filling to form a sandwich. Wrap in parchment paper or foil if desired for easy handling.
Step 8
