Steps:
- In the bottom of large mixing bowl, add the shawarma spices. Add the olive oil, vinegar, and zest and juice of one lemon. Using a spoon, mix to combine.
- Using a chef's knife, cut the flap steak against the grain into thin bite-size slices (no more than ¼-inch in thickness).
- Add the sliced meat to the bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add the garlic and onions. Using a pair of tongs, toss very well to make sure the meat is well-coated with the marinade. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for a few minutes (or, if you have the time, cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours).
- Heat a large cast iron grill pan or skillet over high heat. Using a pair of tongs, add the meat pieces, spreading them as much as you are able. Cook over high heat for anywhere between 8 and 15 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked. (If you like less liquid in your pan and extra char on the meat, you'll likely cook it for about 15 minutes. And if your pan is not large enough, cook the meat in batches).
- While the meat is cooking, prepare the pita pockets and fixings. Make my 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley. Make the tahini sauce. And prepare your pickled cucumbers, if using.
- Assemble the shawarma sandwiches. Open up your pita pockets and load them up with the beef shawarma, salad, and finish with a generous drizzle of tahini sauce. Serve immediately!

Tips:
- For the best results, use a well-marbled cut of beef, such as ribeye or sirloin.
- Be sure to thinly slice the beef against the grain. This will help it cook evenly and tenderize it.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Cook the beef over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the beef until it reaches your desired doneness.
- To make the shawarma sauce, simply whisk together all of the ingredients in a bowl.
- Serve the shawarma with pita bread, rice, or your favorite sides.
