Special Precautions and Tips:

• Be sure to slice the beef very thinly so that it cooks quickly and evenly.
• If you don't have grilling skewers, you can also cook the shawarma in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Let the shawarma rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
