Why settle for takeout when you can whip up a fresh, homemade shawarma packed with flavor and crunch? In this recipe, tender beef strips are marinated with Shawarma Hack, then paired with crisp red cabbage, tangy yogurt dressing, and soft, warm pita bread for a meal that’s both satisfying and nourishing.
Let’s get cooking!
Shawarma Filling:
400 g beef strips
4 tsp Shawarma Hack
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh Slaw:
½ red pointed cabbage, finely shredded
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 handfuls of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Mint Yogurt Dressing:
200 ml Greek yogurt
20 fresh mint leaves
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
To Serve:
4 pita breads
Sriracha, for drizzling
Start by marinating the beef strips with Shawarma Hack, olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring everything is well coated. Let the flavors meld in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Blend Greek yogurt, fresh mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
In a bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley for a fresh, crunchy slaw.
Heat a pan with a little oil and sear the marinated beef strips until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
Warm the pita breads and then fill them generously with the juicy beef, vibrant slaw, and a drizzle of cooling mint yogurt.
Tip! For an extra kick, finish with a touch of sriracha.
Enjoy your homemade shawarma!
