  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp each ground cumin, coriander, black pepper, salt
  • ¼ tsp each ground cinnamon, turmeric, chilli powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated

Sauce: 

  • ½ cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 - 4 tbsp water, as required
  • salt & pepper

To serve: 

  • pita or flatbreads
  • ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • pickles or pickled veg
  • cos lettuce, shredded
  • beetroot hummus
Method: 
  1. In a large bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, spices, and garlic. Mix well.
  2. Cut steak into thin slices against the grain. Transfer to bowl with marinade, stir to coat well, and set aside 10 mins.
  3. Combine tahini, vinegar, oil, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Stir well and add additional water until sauce reaches your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Preheat a BBQ flat plate or heavy-based skillet to high. Drain marinade from meat. Cook the sliced steak in batches, searing well on one side before flipping. Transfer to a serving plate and repeat with remaining meat. It’s important not to crowd the pan so the meat sears instead of stewing.
  5. Serve beef shawarma with warmed pita, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, hummus, and tahini sauce.
