Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Place sliced beef into a flat, oven-proof baking dish. Stir together tomatoes, vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, allspice, garlic, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, and salt in a bowl until well blended. Pour over beef, turning slices to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Step 3

Uncover the baking dish and cook beef in the preheated oven until meat is no longer pink, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool slightly while you make salad and sauce.

Step 4

Make salad: Stir together parsley, onion, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl until combined.

Step 5

Make sauce: Mix together tahini, lemon juice, water, and garlic in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt.

Step 6

Place pita bread rounds on serving plates. Spoon beef slices down the center of each pita. Top with salad, sauce, and tomatoes. Roll up the sides of pita bread around filling to serve.
