Equipment: Large frying pan or griddle
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 600 g beef steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp shawarma spice mix, or mixed baharat-style spice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 80 g salad leaves
- 0.5 cucumber, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 red onion, finely sliced

- Toss the beef with the shawarma spice, oil and a pinch of salt, and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Mix the yoghurt with the garlic, lemon juice and a pinch of salt for the dressing.
- Heat a large pan or griddle until very hot and sear the beef in a single layer for 3–4 minutes, turning once, until charred at the edges and just cooked.

- Top with the sizzling beef, drizzle generously with the garlic-yoghurt, and finish with parsley and pickled chillies if you like.
Swaps and tips
Serve with cauliflower ‘tabbouleh’ instead of pitta. The yoghurt dressing doubles as a cooling sauce.
