Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 60 ml Lemon juice
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the beef strips to the marinade and toss to coat completely. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red onion and finely chop the fresh parsley, setting them aside for later use.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Cook the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

Step 7

In the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the cooked beef shawarma with the sautéed onions and garnish with fresh parsley. Accompany with gluten-free pita bread, rice, or a salad as desired.
