Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Step 2
Add thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Step 3
Prepare all serving vegetables—dice tomatoes and cucumber, slice red onion, chop parsley, and cut lemon wedges.
Step 4
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet or large sauté pan over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add marinated beef slices and sear for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Warm pita bread in the same skillet or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Step 7
Spread tahini sauce onto each warm pita bread.
Step 8
Top with cooked beef shawarma, diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh parsley.
Step 9
Fold or wrap pita around filling. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
