 Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:

  • In a large bowl or zip-top bag, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, yogurt, and all spices.

  • Add the beef, toss to coat, and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.

2. Preheat Pellet Grill:

  • Set pellet grill to 400°F using oak or hickory pellets for bold flavor.

3. Grill the Beef:

  • Grill the beef slices directly on the grates or in a grill basket for about 3–4 minutes per side, until nicely charred and cooked through.

  • Internal temp should reach 145°F for medium doneness.

  • Remove and let rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips if needed.

4. Build the Shawarma Wraps:

  • Warm pita or flatbread briefly on the grill.

  • Fill with beef, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, pickles, parsley, and drizzle with garlic sauce or tahini.

Pro Tips:

  • Grill over high heat for caramelization without overcooking.

  • Slice the beef thin before or after cooking—whatever you prefer.

  • Add feta, hummus, or grilled peppers for extra flavor layers.
