Beef Shawarma Sandwich Recipes

BEEF SHAWARMA RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bottom of large mixing bowl, add the shawarma spices. Add the olive oil, vinegar, and zest and juice of one lemon. Using a spoon, mix to combine.
• Using a chef's knife, cut the flap steak against the grain into thin bite-size slices (no more than ¼-inch in thickness).
• Add the sliced meat to the bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add the garlic and onions. Using a pair of tongs, toss very well to make sure the meat is well-coated with the marinade. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for a few minutes (or, if you have the time, cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours).
• Heat a large cast iron grill pan or skillet over high heat. Using a pair of tongs, add the meat pieces, spreading them as much as you are able. Cook over high heat for anywhere between 8 and 15 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked. (If you like less liquid in your pan and extra char on the meat, you'll likely cook it for about 15 minutes. And if your pan is not large enough, cook the meat in batches).
• While the meat is cooking, prepare the pita pockets and fixings. Make my 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley. Make the tahini sauce. And prepare your pickled cucumbers, if using.
• Assemble the shawarma sandwiches. Open up your pita pockets and load them up with the beef shawarma, salad, and finish with a generous drizzle of tahini sauce. Serve immediately!

BEEF SHAWARMA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together and place it in a large shallow dish like a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Place the meat in the dish and turn it over so that both sides get thoroughly coated with the marinade.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it sit for several hours, preferably overnight.
• If the chuck steak is too large for the Instant Pot then slice it in half so it fits easier.
• Set the instant pot to sauté and add some oil to the bottom of the pot. When the pot is hot, sear the meat for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
• Add the rest of the marinade liquid to the pot along with 1/2 cup beef broth.
• Lock the lid in place and cook on high pressure (manual setting) for 45 minutes.
• Release the steam and shred the meat.
• Drizzle the juices all over the shredded meat.
• Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add some oil to the hot skillet and sear the meat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until brown.
• Add the rest of the marinade liquid to the skillet with the meat along with 1/2 cup beef broth.
• Place a lid on the skillet or cover it with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Roast for 3 hours.
• Remove the meat and shred it with a couple of forks then pour the juices over the shredded meat.
• Get the flatbread warm by placing them in a microwave for 30 to 45 seconds or by sticking them in a hot oven for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pile the shredded meat on the flatbread toppings of your choice.

MAKE YOUR OWN BEEF SHAWARMA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine all ingredients-yogurt, vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt, cardamom pods, allspice, and lemon juice. If it seems a little dry, add a little olive oil (a tablespoon at a time).
• Add the beef, cover, and refrigerate at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
• In a stockpot or large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat for 45 minutes or until done. Be sure not to overcook. If beef becomes a little dry, add a few tablespoons of water throughout the cooking duration.
• While beef is cooking, prepare the sauce.
• Gather the ingredients for the sauce.
• Combine sauce ingredients-tahini, lemon juice, yogurt, and garlic-and mix well. Here is an excellent tahini recipe , if you do not have some handy. Set aside.
• Gather the filling ingredients.
• In a large bowl, take the onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers and sprinkle with sumac.
• Add other filling ingredients-parsley and pickle slices, if using, and combine well.
• When the beef is done, you can shred it, slice it, or leave it in large pieces. As long as it is thinly cut, there is not much difference. We prefer to cut ours into wide strips.
• To assemble, place enough beef on a pita to cover 1/4 of the loaf.
• Add veggies and pour sauce.
• Roll like a soft taco or burrito , and you have shawarma.

EASY BEEF SHAWARMA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef, shawarma seasoning, allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, turning occasionally, until beef is browned and tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Whisk tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl until creamy.
• Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons tahini sauce in the center of each tortilla. Divide beef slices, tomato slices, and onion slices evenly among tortillas. Roll up tortillas.
• Preheat a panini press according to manufacturer's instructions. Press rolled tortillas seam side-down until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Cut each tortilla into 4 to 5 pieces.

INSTANT POT BEEF SHAWARMA

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all the spices with the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Add the chuck roast and garlic turning the beef multiple times to make sure it is fully coated. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours up to overnight.
• Place the chuck roast into the slow cooker along with 1 cup of water. Seal the lid on top of the Instant Pot. Set the cook time on Manual for 90 minutes on High. Allow the pressure to release for 10 minutes once the beef has cooked.
• Remove the beef to a rimmed baking sheet or bowl and shred with two forks. Add about ½ cup of the reserved cooking liquid to the shredded beef. Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste.
• Build sandwiches by spreading hummus on the pita. Top with beef and add garnishes to your liking.

BEEF SHAWARMA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Slice the flap steak into small, thin slices. Transfer into a bowl.
• Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and spices to the steak. Mix to evenly marinate the steak. Cover and place in the fridge from 30 minutes up to overnight.
• Heat a well-oiled skillet or pan over high heat. Add the meat and cook just until redness is gone and the beef turns a dark brown color. Remove from heat.
• Serve in a wrap, in a salad, sandwich, or a shawarma quesadilla.
