Method

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, black pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, yogurt, and beef tallow. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Place the beef mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll the meat out until it is paper-thin.

  3. 3

    Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Tightly roll the flattened meat into a log, using the bottom parchment paper to help guide you. Repeat to form multiple logs.

  4. 4

    Place the meat logs on a baking sheet and bake. (Note: Temperature and time are not specified, but baking until cooked through and browned is recommended, approximately 20-25 minutes at 190°C/375°F).

  5. 5

    While the beef is cooking, heat neutral oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the sliced garlic and diced onion until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Add the washed rice and turmeric to the pot and stir to combine.

  7. 7

    Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a simmer, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  8. 8

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomato, sliced red onion, sumac, salt, pepper, chopped parsley, and extra virgin olive oil. Toss well to combine.

  9. 9

    In a separate small bowl, combine the grated raw garlic, roasted garlic, yogurt, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix until smooth.

  10. 10

    Once the beef logs are cooked, remove them from the oven. Unroll the logs. The meat will be in a single cooked sheet.

  11. 11

    Tear or shred the cooked beef into small, shawarma-like pieces.

  12. 12

    To assemble, start with a base of turmeric rice in a bowl. Add shredded cabbage and sliced cucumber on the side.

  13. 13

    Top the rice with the tomato-onion salad and a generous portion of the shredded beef.

  14. 14

    Drizzle the garlic-yogurt-mayo sauce over the beef and garnish with fresh cilantro.

  15. 15

    Serve immediately and enjoy.
