# How to Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the beef strips and toss thoroughly to coat. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for intensified flavor.

03 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
04 - Warm the flatbreads in a dry skillet or microwave briefly until soft and pliable.
05 - Spread a generous spoonful of the creamy yogurt sauce onto each flatbread. Layer with cooked beef, sliced red onion, tomato, cucumber, shredded lettuce, and fresh herbs if using.
