Beef Marinade:
1 kg beef strips (tender cut)
3-4 TBS red vinegar
1 TBS shawarma spices
Salt and black pepper
2 garlic clove, minced
3 whole cardamoms
2 bay leaves
1 TBS vegetable oil
1 TBS yogurt
1 tsp tahini
Mix all and marinade the beef (preferably for 2 hours at least) and refrigerate
Preparation: (you will need 3-4 tomatoes cut into big chunks)
Heat a wide pot
Start browning/cooking the meat in batches moving the browned batch aside before adding the next one
Stir occasionally until beef is well cooked
Stir in the tomato slices and leave for around 5 mn until they are tender
You’re done!
Note that some people add onions to the beef while cooking, you can do that too! Also make sure you remove the cardamoms and bay leaves before serving- nobody likes a bite of cardamoms in the middle of their shawarma sandwich.
Tahini sauce
6 TBS tahini
2 garlic cloves, minced
4-5 TBS lemon juice
A bit of water and salt
Mix all the above together EXCEPT water
Add cold water while mixing until you get the desired consistency
Serve the shawarma with tahini sauce, pickles, and chopped parsley mixed with onion wings and sumac!
