Steps

1. 1

   The shawarma meat should be cut into long, somewhat thick strips. I prefer to take each strip and cut it into two (cut it lengthwise) to have two strips of the same length and thickness.

   Required Tools:

   Knife

   5 min
2. 2

   Place the meat in a flat dish or Pyrex tray, add the lemon and orange, and rub the meat with the citrus while squeezing the lemon and orange slices.

   Required Tools:

   Pyrex dish

   5 min
3. 3

   Add the pepper, seven spices, cardamom, vinegar, and yogurt, and mix them well. Let the mixture marinate for at least 4 hours (I prefer to leave it overnight).

   240 min
4. 4

   In a suitable frying pan, heat the oil over high heat, remove the lemon and orange, take a portion of the meat and squeeze it with your hands to remove any unwanted juices, then place it in the frying pan until all the meat is cooked.

   Required Tools:

   Frying Pan

   10 min
5. 5

   (I reiterate that the frying pan must be very hot as I do not want the meat juices to escape).

   1 min
6. 6

   Stir until cooked (it won't take long), then add salt after cooking.

   5 min
7. 7

   Once cooked, prepare a burning charcoal, make a hole in the center of the meat, place a piece of aluminum foil in the hole, add the charcoal and a little oil on top, cover it immediately and let it sit for about five to ten minutes.

   10 min
8. 8

   Serve the beef shawarma with sliced onions mixed with sumac and parsley, tomatoes, tahini sauce, and of course, potatoes.

9. 9

   To make the sauce: mix the tahini with lemon juice; you will notice that the tahini becomes thick, which is normal. Add the yogurt and garlic, mix well, and add salt.
