- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice

- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red onion, sliced

Instructions
Begin by preparing the beef marinade. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Add the beef slices to the marinade bowl, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red onion and marinated beef to the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the beef is cooked through and nicely browned.
While the beef is cooking, warm the pita bread in the oven or on a stovetop griddle until soft and pliable.
To assemble the shawarma, place a portion of the cooked beef and onions onto each pita. Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Drizzle with a little tahini sauce, if desired, before rolling the pita wrap tightly.
Serve immediately with additional tahini sauce or fresh salad on the side, if desired.
