Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin
• 60 ml olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 120 grams plain yogurt
• 100 grams tahini sauce
• 2 large tomatoes, sliced
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pita bread or flatbreads

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, coriander, allspice, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and yogurt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1 cm wide.

Step 3

Add the beef slices into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the beef strips for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.

Step 5

While the beef is cooking, prepare the vegetables by slicing the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Chop the fresh parsley.

Step 6

Warm the pita breads or flatbreads by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

Step 7

To assemble the wraps, spread a tablespoon of tahini sauce on each bread, layer with cooked beef strips, fresh vegetables (tomato, cucumber, and red onion), and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Step 8

Roll the bread tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 9

Serve immediately, preferably with additional tahini sauce on the side.
