Ingredients

350 g beef sirloin, thinly-sliced (tapa cut)

Marinade:

1 cup hot water
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 pc Knorr Beef Cube
4 pcs calamansi, juiced
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp chopped garlic
pinch ground black pepper

Garlic Sauce:

1/2 cup Lady's Choice Real Mayonnaise
1/4 cup yogurt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Filling:

1 pack medium flour tortillas or pita bread
1 medium-sized white onion, sliced thinly
3 pcs ripe tomatoes, deseeded and sliced thinly
1/2 pc cucumber, peeled, deseeded and sliced into thin sticks
Optional: 1 pc singkamas, sliced into thin strips
2 cup thinly sliced cabbage or iceberg lettuce or red cabbage
1/2 cup grated cheese

Cooking Method

First, you need to combine all the beef ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Second, prepare the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients. Mix well. Use a funnel to transfer the mixture into a squeeze bottle and chill until ready to use.
Let’s start assembling the wraps–get a grill pan or a flat frying pan and make it nice and hot over high heat. Drain the beef from the marinade and grill until cooked through. Do this in batches so the pan won’t be overcrowded. Set aside to cool slightly.
Once the beef is slightly cooled, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Grab your tortilla or pita bread and heat it on a flat pan until slightly toasted. Then, transfer it onto a plate and then start to assemble. Start by putting lettuce/cabbage, chopped beef, sliced tomatoes, onions, cucumber, and singkamas in the middle of the bread. Drizzle some sauce and top it off with grated cheese. Roll and wrap in foil.
Do the same with the rest of the ingredients, dividing the fillings into each bread.

Munchies managed! It’s easy to make as long as you’ve got all the shawarma sauce ingredients. So next time you’ve got late night cravings, you know what to do!
