Step 1
Toss beef cubes with 2 tbsp tahini, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches if needed, sear beef cubes 2–3 minutes per side without stirring until edges char deeply.
Step 4
Pour lemon juice over the beef, scrape up any charred bits, and toss once.
Step 5
Whisk remaining 1 tbsp tahini with 2–3 tbsp warm water and a pinch of salt until pourable.
Step 6
Divide rice between plates, top with charred beef, and drizzle tahini sauce over.
