My store was out of lamb (except huge leg of lamb) so I bought beef stew meat instead. I then put the meat on flatbread and added home made hummus. It was fabulous!

OMG...this was fabulous!!! Like others, 1/8 tsp cayenne and only 1/2 tbsp salt. I let marinate for a little more than 24 hours. Flavor was so good!! Served it on pita bread and hummus. Can't wait to make it again in spring when I can grill it!

I halved the recipe and made it with chicken. I marinated the strips for 8 hours and they were phenomenal on pita bread w/the thick-style lebanese garlic sauce recipe from this site, some sliced dill pickles and tomatoes.

I made it exactly as per the recipe, except that I cooked the sliced meat on skewers over the grill instead of in a pan. I served it with rice, yogurt/cucumber sauce, sliced tomatoes and onions, and grilled pita with hummus. Nom, nom, nom! It was, in a word, delicious. The leftovers didn't last long because I kept sneaking pieces of meat. Even cold it was delicious. Next time I'll have to make a double batch.

Loved it! I fed it to my roommates and friends, and everyone ate seconds and thirds. I didn't have lamb, so I used steaks instead, and it turned out great. Thanks for the recipe!!

This is my first time preparing lamb and I decided to use this recipe to prepare it. The lamb came out great and the flavor was superb!!! I love how you marinaded the lamb in sauce overnight to enrichen the flavor. I marinade mine 18 hours prior to cooking(prepared saturday night). I had 4 pieces of lamb shoulders and decided to grilled 2 pieces of lamb on stovetop (do not have a outside grill) and I decided to bake the other 2 in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, and both methods came out great!! This is going to be one of my frequent dishes to prepare for dinner.

The flavor is to die for! However, I do have some suggestions. I would double the recipe for this much meat. It was barely enough to coat 2 1/2# of meat, and I still had to add some water after a few hours because the top layer of meat was drying out. Also, I would cut the salt in half or delete it altogether. I used 1 tsp. for 2 1/2# of meat and it was still too salty. I doubled the garlic as I didn't think I'd be able to taste it at the suggested amount, and it was perfect. I also used Thai hot peppers instead of cayenne, substituting 4 peppers per teaspoon -- I chopped them up with the garlic and onion. It was pretty warm, but I like that! With the recipe doubled for the amount of meat, the spices were just right, very fragrant and the meat was so tender from the yogurt. I marinaded for 12 hours and it was terrific. The last comment I have is that I might try grilling the meat next time because in the skillet, when the marinade boils, the yogurt curdles. Overall, I think this recipe is flexible and forgiving, and the flavor combination is exotic and thoroughly enjoyable!

Great flavor. We made this and had it in a pita with tomatoes, spinach, yogert, and feta cheese. My husband said this was an exciting dinner with great flavor.

Smelled exactly like I remember shawarma smelling when I lived in the Middle East! And I was very happy to find that there are no obscure ingredients in this recipe. It was fun making this at home, but it's hard to slice the meat thinly, and lamb is SO expensive... I think we'll stick to the professionals when we want shawarma.
