MAKE YOUR OWN BEEF SHAWARMA
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine all ingredients-yogurt, vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt, cardamom pods, allspice, and lemon juice. If it seems a little dry, add a little olive oil (a tablespoon at a time).
- Add the beef, cover, and refrigerate at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- In a stockpot or large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat for 45 minutes or until done. Be sure not to overcook. If beef becomes a little dry, add a few tablespoons of water throughout the cooking duration.
- While beef is cooking, prepare the sauce.
- Gather the ingredients for the sauce.
- Combine sauce ingredients-tahini, lemon juice, yogurt, and garlic-and mix well. Here is an excellent tahini recipe , if you do not have some handy. Set aside.
- Gather the filling ingredients.
- In a large bowl, take the onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers and sprinkle with sumac.
- Add other filling ingredients-parsley and pickle slices, if using, and combine well.
- When the beef is done, you can shred it, slice it, or leave it in large pieces. As long as it is thinly cut, there is not much difference. We prefer to cut ours into wide strips.
- To assemble, place enough beef on a pita to cover 1/4 of the loaf.
- Add veggies and pour sauce.
- Roll like a soft taco or burrito , and you have shawarma.

Steps:
- In the bottom of large mixing bowl, add the shawarma spices. Add the olive oil, vinegar, and zest and juice of one lemon. Using a spoon, mix to combine.
- Using a chef's knife, cut the flap steak against the grain into thin bite-size slices (no more than ¼-inch in thickness).
- Add the sliced meat to the bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add the garlic and onions. Using a pair of tongs, toss very well to make sure the meat is well-coated with the marinade. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for a few minutes (or, if you have the time, cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours).
- Heat a large cast iron grill pan or skillet over high heat. Using a pair of tongs, add the meat pieces, spreading them as much as you are able. Cook over high heat for anywhere between 8 and 15 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked. (If you like less liquid in your pan and extra char on the meat, you'll likely cook it for about 15 minutes. And if your pan is not large enough, cook the meat in batches).
- While the meat is cooking, prepare the pita pockets and fixings. Make my 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley. Make the tahini sauce. And prepare your pickled cucumbers, if using.
- Assemble the shawarma sandwiches. Open up your pita pockets and load them up with the beef shawarma, salad, and finish with a generous drizzle of tahini sauce. Serve immediately!

Tips:
- To make the best shawarma, use a flank steak or skirt steak. These cuts of meat are tender and flavorful, and they cook quickly.
- Marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the steak against the grain. This will help to ensure that the meat cooks evenly.
- Cook the steak in a hot skillet or on a grill over medium-high heat. Do not overcrowd the pan or grill, or the meat will not cook evenly.
- Serve the shawarma immediately with your favorite toppings, such as pita bread, hummus, tahini sauce, and vegetables.
