Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds top sirloin steak cut into strips, against the grain
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Marinade
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or ground white pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder I use the Knorr Brand
- ¼ medium onion thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the beef and mix it with kitchen tongs, ensuring the marinade coats the beef. Cover and let it marinate for 2 hours in the fridge or up to 8 hours.
- Heat the two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook tossing and turning until done. It takes about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the beef to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm until ready to serve.
- Serve in shawarma wraps or shawarma bowls.
Notes
1. It is important to let the meat marinate so the lemon juice can tenderize it.
2. Substitute other cuts of beef like flank steak or ribeye steak.
