Ingredients
- For the Beef Shawarma:
- - 1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin, sliced thinly
- - 3 cloves garlic, minced
- - 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- - 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- - 1 teaspoon paprika
- - 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- - 1/4 cup olive oil
- - Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Tzatziki Sauce:
- - 1 cup Greek yogurt
- - 1 cucumber, grated
- - 2 cloves garlic, minced
- - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- - Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Flatbread:
- - 4 pieces of flatbread
- - 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- - 1 tomato, diced
- - 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- - Fresh parsley, for garnish
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!
