  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: High protein
  • Contains: beef, dairy, gluten

Ingredients

  • 150 g Beef top round, raw
  • 50 g Yogurt, plain
  • 4 g Garlic, raw
  • 1 g Paprika
  • 0.5 g Cumin
  • 8 g Olive oil
  • 60 g Pita bread
  • 30 g Tomatoes, raw

  • 15 g Onions, red, raw

Method

  1. Slice the beef very thinly against the grain and mix with half the yogurt, the crushed garlic, paprika, cumin, olive oil and salt; marinate at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
  2. Stack the marinated slices onto a skewer if you like, or simply have them ready to sear.
  3. Sear the beef in a very hot, dry pan for 1-2 minutes, turning, until well-charred at the edges and cooked through, mimicking a rotisserie's crisp edges.
  4. Warm the pita bread.
  5. Fill the pita with the sliced tomato, lettuce and red onion, then pile in the hot beef.
  6. Drizzle with the rest of the yogurt and serve immediately.
