Shawarma Chuck Roast Wrap

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine Ingredients in Cooker

   5 min

   In a Dutch oven or slow cooker, add all the spices: ground cumin, paprika, ground ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, ground coriander, and ground clove. Pour in the beef stock and lemon juice, then stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure a uniform blend of flavors.

2. 2

   Coat the Chuck Roast

   2.5 hr

   Carefully place the chuck roast into the spice mixture, ensuring that it is completely coated with the sauce. Use a spoon to turn the meat and help the spices adhere evenly, enhancing the flavor profile during cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Roast

   1 min

   Cover the cooker and set it to low heat, allowing the meat to cook for 8 to 10 hours. The roast is done when it becomes fork-tender, and the flavors have melded beautifully, creating a rich sauce.

4. 4

   Shred the Cooked Beef

   ~5 hr

   Once the cooking time is complete, remove the beef from the cooker and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces. Be sure to discard any large pieces of fat, as they can detract from the final dish's texture.

5. 5

   Skim the Fat

   5 min

   After shredding the beef, take a few moments to skim off any excess fat from the liquid remaining in the cooker. This will help achieve a cleaner, more flavorful sauce without the greasy texture.

6. 6

   Mix Beef with Sauce

   5 min

   Return the shredded beef to the warm sauce in the cooker, stirring well to combine. Keep the mixture on low heat to ensure it stays warm while you prepare the wraps.

7. 7

   Assemble the Wrap

   5 min

   To create your wrap, take a piece of pita bread and generously spread garlic sauce across its surface. Add a portion of the shredded beef and feel free to include any additional garnishes, such as fresh vegetables or herbs, to enhance the flavor.

8. 8

   Fold the Pita

   3 min

   Carefully fold the pita bread around the filling, securing it like a burrito. Make sure to tuck in the sides to prevent any filling from spilling out while grilling.

9. 9

   Grill the Wrap

   ~2.5 hr

   Preheat a grill pan over medium heat and place the assembled wrap onto it. Grill for a few minutes on each side, just until the wrap is warm and develops a slightly crispy exterior, enhancing the overall texture.
