These soft little rolls come with a surprise inside, IKEA’s chicken meatballs. They’re wonderful dipped in ranch sauce, or enjoyed plain, because there isn’t anything plain about their flavor.

These are so amazing, my whole family devoured them. Thank goodness the recipe can be doubled or tripled.

Shawarma is probably one of the most recognizable Middle Eastern ethnic food names in the West, behind Falafel and Hummus.

It is a favorite among many, adults and children alike. Today I made this mouth watering shawerma, thats on spot with the spices and so melts in your mouth thanks to my smart pot.

15 Minute Meat Shawerma

A perfect meat shawarma wrap with ingredients from your pantry. Ready in no time for a mid-week dinner.
Course Sandwiches
Cuisine Arabic
Keyword Meat Shawerma, Shawerma
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Equipment

  • Electric Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

For the Shawerma

  • 500 grams tenderloin cut into thin strips
  • 3 TBSP Meat Shawerma Spices from Bzuriyeh

For the Tahini Sauce

  • 1/2 Cup Tahini
  • 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • Cold Water to thin Tahini Sauce

For the Sandwiches

  • 2 Tomatoes
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 1/2 – 1 TBSP Sumac
  • 6 Large Tortilla Bread
  • For the perfect slices I pressure cook in my nutricookworld for 10 minutes and then I sauté until all the liquid is absorbed.

Instructions

  • Season your sliced beef tenderloin with the spices.
  • Although the meat is already cut thin, I like to have thinner, so I gently put it in a bag and flatten it further with a rolling pin.
  • Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil in your Electric pressure cooker.
  • Add seasoned meat, and make sure its distributed evenly.
  • Pressure cook for 10 minutes, do not sauté first – trust me on this one.
  • Mean while prepare your tahini sauce.
  • Whisk tahini, lemon juice, and garlic together in a small bowl until creamy. Thin down with cold water gradually as needed.
  • Also prepare your tomatoes and onions by cutting them thin. I use a mandoline for this task. I also season the onions with a TBSP of sumac. I would half it if you're trying it for the first time and adjust as I go.
  • By now the beef should be done. Release the pressure of your electric cooker and open the lid.
  • Click the sautee function and allow to cook until the liquid has dried up from the beef.
  • Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons tahini sauce in the center of each tortilla. Layer onion and tomato slices, and add the beef slices evenly among tortillas. Roll up tortillas
  • Preheat a panini press. Press rolled tortillas seam side-down until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Cut each tortilla into 4 to 5 piece, and serve.

Bursting with flavor and oven baked to perfection. Here is my lazy Friday recipe for a chicken homemade Shawerma. I prepare the marinade at 9 AM and keep it in the fridge till 12 PM. I take it out and let it sit at room temperature for 30 – 40 minutes before baking it. Bringing the chicken up to room temp allow it to cook evenly, and retain juices.

  • Meanwhile, you can work on chopping your assembly ingredients, and prepare your garlic sauce.
  • For the garlic sauce, mix the Greek yogurt, tahini sauce, garlic cloves, lemon juice, and pulse using a hand mixer. Add the cold water, and pulse again.
  • As the mixture begins to come together, drizzle your olive oil, and continue to pulse until it reaches desire consistency. To be honest, I didn’t add any salt, the flavor was spot on us for.
  • Warm your pitas, spread some garlic sauce, add some chicken, spread with your favorite ingredients, roll and enjoy.
