Easy Meat Shawarma

Shawarma is a dish from back home. It is often sold in special restaurants where they layer the meat on huge skewers (to give you an idea, each skewer has at least 10 lbs of meat). The skewers then rotate in front of a vertical electric grill and the meat is shaven thin, here is a pic. The result is crispy and intensely flavored meat that is often put in sandwiches, YUMMY. This recipe is adapted from the book Lebanease Cuisine.

Ingredients

1 lb sirloin meat, partially frozen

1/4 cup red wine

1/4 cup white vinegar

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp cardamon powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp allspice

Method

• Slice meat as thin as you can, put in a ziploc bag. Add the rest of the ingredients, close the bag and move the stuff inside it to mix everything.
• Refrigerate the bag for 24 hours or at least overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Spread the drained meat on a cookie sheet in one layer (do not add the liquid, otherwise the meat won't be crispy).
• Bake for 20 minutes.
