How To Make beef shawarma
-
1MARINADE BEEF.
Combine all ingredients except for beef to make marinade. If it seems dry, add a little olive oil (a tablespoon at a time.) Pour marinade over beef, cover and refrigerate at least 8 hrs. -
2In 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 cooking duration.
-
3While beef is cooking, PREPARE THE SAUCE.
Combine all ingredients and set aside. -
4PREPARE THE FILLINGS:
Take the onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and sprinkle with sumac. Add other filling ingredients in a large bowl and combine well. -
5When the beef is done, you can shred it, slice it, or leave into large pieces. As long as it is thinly cut, there is not much difference.
-
6PREPARE THE PITA:
Place enough beef on pita that it covers 1/4 of the loaf. Add veggies and pour on sauce. Roll like a soft taco or burrito and you have SHAWARMA!
Serve with hummus or "garlic sauce." I like to put shredded lettuce in the pocket too... - Last Step: Don't forget to share!
