Beef Shawarma is ideal for pita sandwiches, hummus bowls, rice plates or enjoyed on its own. Flank steak soaks in a fragrant shawarma spice blend, is quickly grilled, then sliced thin for tender, juicy bites. Serve it with tahini sauce, fresh vegetables and pickles in a warm pita.
Shawarma is a popular Middle Eastern preparation where seasoned meat is traditionally roasted on a vertical spit. Today’s version uses grilled flank steak marinated in olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice and warm spices. The marinade infuses the beef with bright, savory and slightly tangy flavors that pair beautifully with tahini, tomatoes, romaine and pickles. While flank steak works especially well because it slices thin, you can also use flat iron or strip steak if preferred.
