Ingredients
- beef Shawarma
- 1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin sliced thinly
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp turmeric ground
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tzatziki Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp dill chopped, fresh
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Flatbread:
- 4 pieces flatbread
- 1 cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 tomato diced
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- parsley for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
- Place the thinly sliced beef sirloin in a shallow dish and add the marinade paste. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Cover the dish and let the beef marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
- While the beef is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the marinated beef from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Grill the beef slices for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- To assemble the flatbread, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each piece of flatbread. Top with sliced beef, cucumber slices, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Fold the flatbread in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
