Ingredients

Shawarma Steak

  • 14 ounces 400 grams New York Strip Steak
  • 1 tablespoon Jamie Geller Shawarma Seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Tahini Lemon Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons pure tahini paste
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Splash of water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch salt

Pita Bread

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

Shwarma steak

  • Pat the steaks dry to get a nice crust and to reduce oil splatter.
  • Make a marinade by mixing the seasonings with the olive oil.
  • Marinate the steaks for 1 hour.
  • Sear each side for 4-5 min until a brown crust has developed, use tongs to turn your steak on the side and sear for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove the steak and let it rest for 5 min before slicing.
  • Serve steak in fresh pita with tahini lemon sauce, pickles and red onion with parsley and sumac.

Tahini Lemon Sauce

  • Blend Tahini, lemon juice and water.
  • Slowly add the olive oil while blending, add salt to taste and water to desired consistency. It should be thick and creamy.

Pita Bread

  • Mix yeast, sugar and warm water, let it sit for 15 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour with salt. Add olive oil, yeast mixture and knead by hand for 6 minutes. If the dough is too sticky you can add more flour.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl and let it rise for 2 hours in a warm place.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently push the air out and divide into 10 equal pieces.
  • Bake for 12-14 min or roast on the pan for 4 minutes each side, or until set.
  • Enjoy!
