Grilled Beef Shawarma Wraps are a healthy twist on a Middle Eastern classic. Shawarma is typically made of spiced layers of beef and lamb grilled on a large rotating spit, then shaved off the spit and served with toppings. This version uses tender flank steak that is smothered in a delicious dry rub then grilled to perfection. Serve the sliced flank steak in a warm pita and top with fresh veggies and a drizzle of creamy tahini. Before you start: For best results, start this recipe the day before you plan to cook it so the dry rub can season the steak overnight. ⭐Pro Tip: If you can’t find flank steak, you can use hanger steak, skirt steak, or sliced ribeye as a replacement.
