Ingredients
2 Lbs of Beef (sirloin) chopped thin
3 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp of lemon juice
2 to 3 tbsp of vegetable oil
2 tbsp of shawarma spices or 2 tbsp of all spices and add about 1/3 tsp of nutmeg and cardamon
1 cup of beef or lamb fat or (1 tbsp of vegetable oil ) for frying the meat

2 medium size tomato sliced
chopped lettuce (optional)
6 pieces of pita bread cut in half

Instructions
In a bowl mix the meat with garlic ,lemon juice, oil, and spices . Let it sit for at least 8 hours prefer overnight .
Fry the fat until you get about one tbsp of the liquid that comes out of it , remove the pieces of fat then add the meat to it, fry until cooked very well and no more liquid coming out of the meat .
Moved the cooked meat to a clean plate served with the onion, tomato, lettuce in the pita bread .
Shawarma made in Europe is a bit different from the original one , it is not spicy and does not have all the exotic spices found there, but i make a pretty delicious one with my frymaster and some mayo
Since high school I've been eating shawarma and they are good, I love how it taste like but I make sure that I use mouthwash before talking to my boyfriend because it doesn't smell good maybe because of the onion
Sumac... That is in Zatar, I believe! I have had these in restaurants with a delicious sauce on them... any recipe I try with the tahini sauce is definitely not the sauce I've tried... Can you tell me what this sauce might be? Is it the garlic sauce that looks a lot like mayonnaise? Btw... the meat looks fabulous!
In the video on sukhjit's blog, you added onions with something sprinkled on them. Sumec, smec? Can you tell me what that was. Looks divine! Going to try it this weekend.
