Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1¾ lbs beef flap steak cut very thinly against the grain into bite-size pieces
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil plus 2 tbsp for cooking
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • 1/2 tsp ground clove
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 yellow onion sliced
  • CUCUMBER SALAD
  • 1 head of romaine chopped
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1/3 cup diced red onions
  • 1/2 bunch curly parsley minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sumac
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • TO SERVE:
  • hummus
  • tzatziki
  • cucumber
  • tahini

Method
 

  1. In a large ziplock bag, add all the ingredients (EXCEPT the 2 tbsp avocado oil) and mix well. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. To make the salad, mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
  3. In a cast iron skillet, heat the 2 tbsp of avocado oil on medium heat. Then add the beef evenly to the skillet. You may have to do this in batches. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. To the plate, add a smear of hummus on the plate. Then top with the beef shawarma. I served mine with a cucumber tomato salad, store-bought tzatziki, tahini sauce, and roasted potatoes.
