Pick your favorite beef cut and ensure it has plenty of fat in it. You can use a roast cut, however you can do this with any steak cut, ribeye, or even butter steak. Any fat in the cut will greatly enhance the flavor of the Shawarma. You can marinate the meat with lemon juice and vinegar with your favorite spices like onion,garlic and ground pepper. Marinate for 4 hours before roasting or grilling. Ingredients for marinade • 1/2 kilo finely sliced of your favorite beef cut • 1/2 cup finely sliced onion • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil • 3 cloves garlic minced • 1/3 cup lemon juice or calamansi juice • 2 bay leaves • 2 cinnamon stick • 1 tsp salt or to taste • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper • 1/3 cup vinegar Ingredients for Turmeric Rice: • 2 cups Thai white Thai jasmine rice, OR white basmati rice • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil • 1/4 cup finely-chopped onion • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. chili flakes OR cayenne pepper • 1 roma tomato or 1 small field tomato*, diced • 4 cups (minus 2 Tbsp.) good-tasting (strong) chicken stock • juice of 1 lime • 2 Tbsp. fish Sauce • 1/2 tsp. turmeric • optional: 1/4 to 1/3 tsp. saffron Preparation: 1. Heat the pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl around, then add the onion, garlic, and chili/cayenne. Stir-fry to release the fragrance (1 minute), then add the red pepper and tomato. Stir-fry 1 more minute. 2. Add the rice and stir to coat, then pour in the stock. Add the lime juice, fish/soy sauce, turmeric and saffron (if using). Stir well. 3. When the stock begins to bubble, cover tightly with a lid and reduce heat to low. Allow rice to gently simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until all - or 95% - of the liquid has been absorbed. 4. Immmediately replace lid and leave rice to sit (heat off) for at least 10 minutes. The residual heat inside the pot will help any remaining liquid absorb and finish cooking the rice. 5. Remove lid and fluff rice with fork or chop sticks.
