Skillet-Seared Beef Shawarma Wraps

This recipe captures the essence of traditional rotisserie shawarma by using thinly sliced chuck roast seared quickly in a hot skillet. The high heat creates caramelized, crispy edges on the beef while keeping it tender, perfectly complemented by a zesty homemade tahini sauce.

Ingredients

1 lb beef chuck roast, sliced very thin against the grain
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 large pita breads
1/2 cup tahini paste
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the chuck roast as thinly as possible against the grain. Freezing the meat for 15 minutes beforehand can make slicing easier.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced beef to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat every piece with the spice mixture.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini paste, lemon juice, and 3-4 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and creamy. Season with salt.

  5. 5

    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat.

  6. 6

    Add the beef to the skillet in a single layer (do this in batches if necessary) and sear for 3-4 minutes until browned and crispy on the edges.

  7. 7

    Warm the pita breads in a pan or microwave for 30 seconds.

  8. 8

    Assemble the wraps by spreading tahini sauce on the pita, topping with the seared beef, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion.
