Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 medium onion
• 2 small cucumbers
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground black pepper, and sea salt.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and finely chop half of the onion, then add them to the spice marinade.

Step 4

Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

Step 7

Cook the beef strips in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

While the beef is cooking, prepare the cucumber salad by dicing the cucumbers and tomatoes into small cubes.

Step 9

Finely chop the parsley and the remaining half of the onion, then combine with the cucumbers and tomatoes in a salad bowl.

Step 10

Drizzle the salad with red wine vinegar, sprinkle with sea salt and ground black pepper, and toss everything together.

Step 11

Serve the cooked beef shawarma with the cucumber salad on the side, garnishing with additional parsley if desired.
