Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef sirloin
- 200 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables by dicing the tomato, slicing the cucumber and red onion thinly, and roughly chopping the parsley.
Heat a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned, stirring occasionally.
Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
To assemble the wraps, place a lettuce leaf on each pita, followed by a portion of the cooked beef.
Top with the tomato, cucumber, red onion, and parsley.
Drizzle a bit of the leftover marinade over the top if desired.
Roll up the pita tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low fat beef shawarma!
