Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 60 ml olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 120 grams plain yogurt
- 100 grams tahini sauce
- 2 large tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pita bread or flatbreads
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, coriander, allspice, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and yogurt to create the marinade.
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1 cm wide.
Add the beef slices into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the beef strips for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the vegetables by slicing the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Chop the fresh parsley.
Warm the pita breads or flatbreads by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
To assemble the wraps, spread a tablespoon of tahini sauce on each bread, layer with cooked beef strips, fresh vegetables (tomato, cucumber, and red onion), and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Roll the bread tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately, preferably with additional tahini sauce on the side.
