Step 1
Start fries in a hot skillet or oven if not pre-cooked; they'll cook while you prep everything else.
Step 2
Mix tahini with lemon juice and 2 tbsp water until pourable; season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Pat beef slices dry. Toss with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, roughly 90 seconds.
Step 5
Sear beef in batches, 2–3 minutes per side without stirring—edges should be golden and crispy.
Step 6
Warm pita in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, then assemble: tahini sauce, beef, tomato, parsley.
Step 7
Serve with fries and tahini sauce on the side for dipping.
