Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by slicing the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the beef strips to the marinade and toss to coat completely. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Thinly slice the red onion and finely chop the fresh parsley, setting them aside for later use.
Heat a large skillet or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
In the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Serve the cooked beef shawarma with the sautéed onions and garnish with fresh parsley. Accompany with gluten-free pita bread, rice, or a salad as desired.
