Slow Cooker Beef Shawarma Bowl
This slow cooker beef shawarma is a healthy spin on a popular Middle Eastern recipe. You can also make this low-carb, paleo, whole30 shawarma recipe in your Instant Pot. Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish made of sliced meat stacked in a cone-like shape, and roasted on a slowly turning vertical spit. Shawarma can be made from beef, chicken, lamb, or turkey. Traditionally, thin slices of meat are shaved spit as the continuously rotates and cooks the meat. Technically real shawarma isn’t made in the slow cooker so this is more an ode-to shawarma because I love it so much.

Notes
As with most of my recipes you can use your preferred cut of beef here. It’s already not a traditional shawarma anyway. I used beef sirloin; other suggestions include round or flank steak. I encourage you to use ingredients that you can find easily and that fit your budget. The key is to slice the beef into even strips.
