Beef Shawarma

Step 1

First, combine the beef with all the marinade ingredients and marinate covered in the fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours.

Step 2

Take the meat out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking so the meat rests and comes closer to room temperature. This will provide for a more tender bite.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet then add the beef to the pan and cook for about 8 minutes on medium-high heat. The meat will release juices and cook in them. You can drain some of the oils that are released if you wish for more of a sear or you can keep it.

Step 4

In the meantime, make your tahini sauce. All you have to do is stir together the ingredients and add enough water to slightly thin out the sauce to your preferred consistency. I recommend a slightly thick but pourable sauce.

Step 5

Once the meat is cooked, set to the side and prepare other fillings for assembly.

Step 6

Cut your pita in half and open the pocket of the pita bread wide enough to be stuffed. Add the beef shawarma along with the fillings of your choice from the list above. Top it off with the tahini sauce to your liking and enjoy!

Step 7

You can also change this up and make beef shawarma bowls or wraps!
