Lebanese-Style Strip Steak
The Lebanese marinade for the steak is very similar to what is used for shawarma. The steak requires only an hour of marinating and less than 10 minutes to cook. Ribeye, top sirloin, filet mignon, and flank steak are all suitable choices to use if you don’t want a strip steak. If you prefer to grill the steaks, they will require the same cooking time of 4 minutes a side for medium rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before serving.
