    While watching this video or enjoying this Beef Shawarma, please take a moment to reflect on the people of Gaza. 2.2 million Civilians in Gaza are under siege with no food, water, electricity, or medicine. I urge you to join me in supporting these charities providing aid to the civilians and children of Gaza:
    Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without borders): www.msf.org/donate

    Hello friend,
    I rarely ever try any dishes I learn online or even here on yt. To give you an example, I believe hummus is the sole recipe that I might have tried after following here on yt, and after discovering this recipe from you, and learning that you can include orange and lemon peel into a savory dish especially beef, really got me curious.
    After trying your dish following every step including the tahini sauce, I will tell you that I was just beyond blown away by the flavors I discovered. I generally prepare Pakistani food like their line of BBQs and briyani etc (my own recipes which I tweaked and developed in like 13-14 yrs or more of trial and error), this was one of the very few dishes that I might have ever tried after learning online and man I was completely blown away. Just can't thank you enough for sharing this and having me learn something magical. All the best!

      I had a jar of pepperoncini and I included about 10 of those as well in 1kg meat marinade, and they also made a great taste enhancement. I didn't have Arabic 7 spice, but did have Chinese 5 spice which I opened and used for the very first time after being in my cabinet for over a year (only because it also contained allspice LOL), it still generated an excellent flavor. I am now looking to buy Arabic 7 spice blend and next time I prepare your dish, I am sure it would be even better.

    I cooked this recipe exactly as it is shown in the video and was so excited to try it. I love a good Shawarma and this sounded like a very original take and looked delicious. I have to say that I didn't like the taste at all. It tasted like meat cooked in onion pulp and didn't elevate into an interesting flavor profile. The smell after it is cooked is kind of funky as well so not a dish that I would make if I had guests. Definitely try first before you make it for guests or a party. I will not cook this again but the tahini sauce was great.

    Appreciate sharing this recipe! I have one question for the cooking method though. Considering shawarma is cooked with fire, wouldn’t it be a better choice to cook your recipe by stir frying in a hot cast iron pan? When you use a pot like you use, doesn’t it boil it first until the meat loses all it’s juice?

    For those reading, it basically tastes like a middling sloppy joe, def not traditional shawarma flavor. It's not bad and the meat turns out super tender and the tahini on top is nice but I wouldn't make again; also it's surprisingly bland. As some other people pointed out, it's way too liquidy at the end and you end up boiling the meat. Highly suggest as others did straining your onion mixture post-marinate pre-cook to get red of the excess moisture, at the end of a four hour slow cook I had soup, not stew, and it took an hour on medium-high, not ten minutes, and transferring to a large wide skillet to evaporate out the excess moisture.
