The story behind

I remember the first time I saw a vertical spit roasting meat in a tiny alleyway; the sizzle was hypnotic. I learned that 'shawarma' actually comes from a Turkish word meaning 'turning'. It's been around since the Ottoman Empire, and it’s honestly one of my favorite things to grab for a late-night dinner. It goes perfectly with a side of hummus and a cold glass of Ayran or just a crisp soda. It’s the kind of meal that hits the spot when you want something satisfying and full of flavor without too much fuss.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Toss the beef strips with the spice mix and let them sit for a bit while you prep the rest.
  2. 2
    Get your fries going in hot oil until they reach that perfect golden crunch.
  3. 3
    Sear the beef in a very hot pan; you want it cooked through with those nice charred edges.
  4. 4
    Warm up your bread, spread a generous amount of sauce, and layer the beef with the fresh veggies.
  5. 5
    Roll it up tight and give the wrap a quick sear on the pan to get those grill marks and extra crunchiness.
