Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Beef Shawarma Bowl ahead of time?

Cook the protein and rice/grains ahead and refrigerate separately for up to 3 days. Reheat protein in a pan with a splash of water, then assemble bowls to order.

What cut of beef works best here?

Ribeye has the most flavor, sirloin is leaner. For thin-slicing, flank or skirt steak work great. Freeze the steak for 20 minutes first for easier thin slicing.

Why isn't my protein browning properly?

The pan must be hot before the protein goes in โ€” add oil and wait until it shimmers. Pat the protein completely dry first (moisture prevents browning). Don't crowd the pan; cook in batches with space between each piece.
