Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin or flank steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 100 milliliters coconut cream (optional for sauce)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 large tomato
• 4 lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by thinly slicing 500g of beef sirloin or flank steak and place the slices in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the beef slices, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for best flavor (up to overnight if possible).

Step 4

Thinly slice a medium onion and set aside.

Step 5

If preparing a sauce, mix 100ml of coconut cream with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 6

Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice 1 medium cucumber and 1 large tomato. Set aside along with 4 washed lettuce leaves.

Step 7

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 9

Add the marinated beef slices to the pan, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Grill the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired level.

Step 10

Assemble the paleo beef doner kebabs by placing a leaf of lettuce on a plate, adding a few slices of beef, cooked onions, sliced cucumber, and tomato. Drizzle with the coconut cream sauce, if using.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
