"A Middle Eastern classic street food, Shawarma can be made using Chicken, beef or Lamb. Today I’m sharing MY version of this but in a multi layer bun, loaded with a garlicky Tahini sauce, french fries and CHEESE! Everything I love, all in 1 ROLL! Super delicious and extremely satisfying!"

A Note from Feedfeed

Sauteed beef, onions, and spices are layered on sweet rolls, topped with garlic tahini, and crispy french fries and cheese! Bake these rolls for a couple of minutes just until the cheese is melted, and enjoy. Warning: these rolls come with a major cheese pull! Lamees joined the #feedfeed podcast to talk about her culinary journey and ways to inspire people to cook more easy, delicious Arabian food. Check out the episode here.

    Heat a deep pan with olive oil, add meat and cook for 2 min, add sliced onions & cook for a 5-6 min on medium heat, add spices and let cook for an additional 2 min (you can always marinate the beef slices with the spices in advance before cooking).

  • Step 3

    Add your beef, top it off with the sauce, french fries and cheese, return the top half of the buns, press gently (cover with aluminum foil if you want your buns to remain soft and not crispy) bake for 5-7 min. Take out and serve!
