In a small bowl, mix together ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Pat the steak dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture all over the steak, ensuring an even coating.

Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 7

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.

Step 8

To assemble, place sliced steak on each warm pita, followed by red onion, cucumber, and tomato slices.
