- 500 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make a marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once hot, spread the marinated beef slices in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the beef is nicely browned and cooked through.
To serve, place cooked beef shawarma on a plate. Optionally, top with sliced cucumber and red onion for extra freshness.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a side of Greek yogurt for dipping.
