The production level of your content is just great man. And I know it's a youtube video and we can never know for real, but you always give off a super genuine feeling in your videos like you really care about your food and sharing it with everyone. Thanks for putting out some of the best youtube food videos of 2021. Hope it continues for a long time.
Thanks, I don't upload recipes unless I am confident people will like them. All I want is for people to experience a piece of the middle esst that they rarely get to. Hope you try some recipes out!
@@MiddleEats I have to agree your youtube channel has been an awesome source of inspiration to me, having lived most of my life in the Middle East and now living in the U.S. I get nostalgic for good & properly made Middle Eastern food ... Keep it up your doing great!
Just made this for dinner the other night. It was INCREDIBLE! I can't recommend it enough. I used a 3lb roast for 3 people, assuming I'd have leftovers... nope, they loved it so much that they practically licked the pot! The red onion salad was especially divine. I'm keeping a container in my fridge from now on and putting it on everything. Thanks for sharing this recipe! 10/10!
My friend, as a fellow Arab, I can do nothing but like and watch your videos. I see your passion for our cuisine and love for the culture. God bless you and I wish you all the success in the world.
@@MiddleEats hey man! I am happy for you, because you deserve it. On the other hand, I used to work for HelloFresh (as an outsourced customer service agent working minimum wage in eastern europe) and I am disgusted by their ways. Rigid money making off 3rd grade food and supermarket waste sent to customers in tons of plastic, with a subscription system that traps you into the 2nd box before you even try your first one. Sorry to ruin your day like this, I hope you can keep doing what you love and live a great life, have a lovely salary to feed your family, without dirty marketing money.
I really love how your authenticity and how genuine you come off in the videos (also Salma) love you guys, it made me so happy to know that you are getting sponsors. Your hard work and dedication to the quality of the videos is refreshing. I am so glad to have found your channel and the recipes are amazing.
This is great. I've been missing Egyptian shawarma for many years since I lived there. Shabrawy was my go to spot. Foul with egg, ketchup-mayonnaise, foul with fries salad boiled egg baladi pita bread and a bottle of Fanta. I'm salivating. Best breakfast I ever had, you can toss boulders all day and not get tired.
Made this a couple weeks ago, and WOW!! So tasty! I used ground beef and it worked very well, didn’t need to marinate and cook a long. And I used home smoked salt to infuse a slight grilled taste. Making it again today!
I made this for dinner last night, and it was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended, would be a great pick for game night or a party. Just really, really good.
Thanks Obi! I usually work in the middle east during winter and sometimes I really crave the meat flavours I could only get there so your channel really helps us nostalgic westerners foodies! Keep up the excellent work
i’ve been making many of these dishes for a while, since i got married, but since i started to follow your recipes for them, my food has been elevated to a wonderful new level 😍 i’d love if you could do a recipe for molohkia 💗💗 great videos, keep up the amazing work 😊
@@MiddleEats i made your molokhia last night and it was soooo delicious. my recipe was never bad, but never this good either 😍 thank you so much for all your wonderful recipe videos
man... I was in Egypt once during holidays with my parents when I was young but I definitely wanna go there again.. though it is "not recommended" to travel there.. but I would love to see an entirely different culture for once, learn something new.. Hope the pandemic will be gone one day.
I tried this immediately after watching with rice instead of the bread and in my insta-pot and literally its the best thing I've ever made in the kitchen!
How long does it cook in the instant pot? High or low pressure and pressure release? Did you add water or broth? Or does it release liquids quick enough not to give the burn notice?
Made this in a pressure cooker. Once out of the pressure cooker, I reduced the liquid and fried it in a little butter. It took half the time and it was deeeeelicious. Thanks for another keeper Obi!
@@strangulator123 depends on your pressure cooker. In mine,it took around 20 minutes on high to cook and then I opened lid and reduced juices for another 10 minutes
Brother. I’m eating right now. This does not make any sense how good it is. Reminds me of a Lebanese joint I tried years ago and they had this amazing lamb shawarma. They closed so I never experienced that flavor ever again. I know this is beef and not in the broiler, but the flavor. That’s it. I’m so happy I found your channel. Love you bro.
you're a hundred percent right Egyptians shawarma is the best. I used to stop at a little roadside stand on Faisal Street before heading down into the Faiyum where I lived in beni suef. I miss those sandwiches so I'll have to try yours thanks.
Made this (and have never actually had schwarma before) for a dinner party, and it was absolutely delicious. Great for a group, and I was able to find the spices in my local grocery store, don’t leave them out. sumac is a new spice for me, and it had a lovely scent and color. Making this again for friends next week.
I worked at a shawarma place for about a year here in Ontario, and our "beef" shawarma was really a combo of homogenized processed beef and lamb, shaved off and served as a wrap, typically with donair sauce (which I think is an Eastern Canadian thing?) It was fine, but a completely different beast (so to speak) than your gourmet work here. I also just love seeing how shawarma looks different depending where you are in the world. So interesting to see the diversity of this dish! Take care buddy! :)
Donair as it’s known in Canada is originally a Halifax dish. Meant to be eaten in an alley at 3AM after a fun night. The further west you go from Halifax, the weirder the donairs get. People in Edmonton put pineapples on their “donairs”. It was invented buy a Greek or Lebanese guy who wasn’t getting much business in his restaurant because maritimers find yoghurt spicy. Someone who tried his experimental dish asked what it was called, and he just blurted out “donair” (because he couldn’t think of a better name at the time). And the name stuck
Hey brother, I’m cooking the meat after a solid two hours marinate. The smell is crazy good. Finally found sumac and I just unlocked a new world. I’m in for a treat!!!!!!
I can't believe I didn't discover your channel earlier! Those look so mouthwatering ☺ and I love all the tips you get about ingredients preparation/selection throughout your videos. Also you have such a genuinely nice person feel, so it kind of feels like cooking with a friend 😄 please keep it up!
oh my word that looks amazing. I came here from your aubergine pickle video and these are the first two videos from you I have seen and i''m very impressed, by the video quality and the food. I will subsrcibe
My boyfriend and I love your channel! I'm making this for him as a surprise for dinner tonight. Question: Does the beef need to be covered while marinating? Thanks!
I'm looking forward to making this! Although I might not throw in all the beef at once, but first brown a portion of it in the pan until a solid fond forms, then throw in the rest with all the juices to cook off the fond. I'd hope this might make it taste a bit more "grilled". Also, toasting the pepper might be a way to cheat in these flavors as well.
As I was making this, I really was not sure how the stewed beef would magically turn into shawarma. But it did! I still don't quite understand it, but it tastes absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing these amazing recipes.
Thanks Obi for showing me the beauty and variety in Egyptian food. I went to Cairo and I don't know if restaurants are all clustered in one place, but I walked for miles around Doqqi and found only the odd kebab shop. I had great taameyya and asir but otherwise I missed out... Your videos are making up for it ❤️
There are food shops all over the place in Egypt, so I'm not sure why you didn't find many. Dokki has loads of restaurants, but maybe it was Ramadan and things were closed?
@Middle Eats No it was September 2019, so not Ramadan. I'm not sure where I went wrong! If I return I will do some very careful research on places to eat before I go. I made your Fasenjan, Aubergine Fatteh and Salata Meshwiya recipes - all turned out great! The chicken for the Fasenjan cooked down a bit much in no time, so people really need to follow the timings you gave. For Salata Meshwiya I put 6 cloves of garlic and I found it more than enough. Next step for Fasenjan will also be to splash out and make Pomegranate molasses from scratch or use a 100% pomegranate one (I sadly ended up with the same 17% one you use in your video). Really enjoying it, keep up the amazing work
Obe , I love your channel, the recipes and how simple you make them for us all to prepare. Sharing this time with you is such fun and my happy place, I absolutely love the taste test part at the finish. You rock... thanks... ✨✨🌟
I’m obsessed with this recipe it’s my second time making it and even before butting it on the stove my family complimented the smell of the marinate❤❤❤❤can’t thank you enough for this recipe, I also love the hawawshi recipe tastes soooo good and I made it almost more than 10 times
Obi, thanks for another great video! I want to try this now. Also, if you're interested there's an excellent easy cheat to add "grilled" flavor to food! See if you can get some "Lapsang Souchong" or smoked tea - I put mine in an old spice shaker. Just a couple shakes of smoked tea over food adds the smokey grilled flavor back in!
That's a good cheat! We actually do something else, we place a small amount of oil in a ramekin, and place that in the pot. Then we light a small piece of coal, then drop it in the ramekin and close the pot. It gets really smoky.
@@MiddleEats you’re welcome ☺️ I was thinking it would be nice to show the Egyptian Molokhia recipe but wondering if your subscribers would be able to handle the slimy little suckers? My all time favourite 😍
I'm in the process of moving so I haven't been able to use a kitchen in a hot minute but this is on the top of my list when I can finally start cooking again. Thanks for the great videos!
This is an insanely delicious recipe and hats off Obi for the great video... The beauty of shawerma is you can have many recipes and they all taste great but this version is by far my favorite, especially you live in Europe and dont have shamee bread the brioche buns go really well.
Great videos and delicious looking recipes! I'm trying this one tonight! Was going to do your chicken shawarma wraps last night, but realized I should have started them and the sauces 2 days ago, so that will be next weekend! Keep up the great work, you're so thorough in your instruction and I love that! I only just discovered you 2 days ago!
Hi Obi. This is definitely a recipe my two boys will love - I can’t wait to try it! In Thailand, where I live, I cannot get premixed Baharat. Can you share your recipe and ideas for uses and variations? There are others on YT, but would love to see your take on it… keep up the good work!
Another great recipe, as always! I ended up using a chuck roast with nice marbling and it turned out AMAZING! We dug in so fast, I forgot to take a picture for IG! Lol
Thank you for your fantastic videos. I enjoy your channel! Today was my first time making one of your recipes. I made beef shawarma sandwiches for a group of family and friends for game night. Everyone enjoyed it, even the kids! Thank you for a delightful channel and delicious recipes.
Please, let's not call these "cheap" meats. While I enjoy a good steak, tenderloin or roast, often these "cheap" cuts satisfy me even more. Deep, rich flavor, and if cooked right, no knife required. These less expensive cuts are in no way inferior to the more expensive cuts, and a pressure cooker is a Godsend for cooking them. I could practically taste this as you were cooking it, and I must admit, I was more than a little jealous watching you eat it! It looks like topside would be roughly equivalent to rump roast here in the States, but I'm betting chuck would be awesome in this recipe. Putting this on my to do list!
Here in Kuwait we get shawarma sandwiches with Sammoun buns which are similar to Iraqi Sammoun bread but a bit sweeter and more fluffy, not to mention most of our Falafel shops serve sandwiches with it, I prefer it to the normal pita bread because how soft it is and it soaks shawarma grease and tahini sauce.
hey, just recently i have discovered your channel and i am enjoying it very much. as an israeli, i am no strranger to middle-eastern food, but have never paid attention to it very much. i am having so many wonderful ideas with my own regular meals, and thats so fun for me. thanks a lot!
I cooked it today, finally. Marinated overnight and cooked in a cast iron pot in the oven at 90C fan for 3 hours. I used beef chuck and a Moroccan ras el hanout blend and wrapped it dürüm style with salad in a Lebanese pita. So that was nearly all the way around the Mediterranean. Egyptians, please bear with me. It tasted great and was wonderfully messy to eat 😄
Very interesting technique, i wouldn't have guessed that you'd do it this way! it makes sense though, when im making my best beef chili it cooks to this perfect amount with a gentle simmer to the best consistency.
Sumac is non-negotiable. Nothing else in the world tastes like it. It is one of the most amazing spices I've ever used. Whenever I make hummus, I absolutely blanket the top with sumac and a home-made dried chili pepper blend.
Thank you Obi!! Love your videos!! I love shwarma and always hesitate to try it due to the process, this is doable! Thank you again brother!! Side note,, I Love all types of hot sauces, Do you have a hot sauce recipe, any type?
I have an amazing hot sauce, probably my favourite one in the world and I have a huge collection of hotsauces. Check out my chilli and garlic sauce video, should be about a year ago.
Wow, this looks incredible!! I have never tasted Baharat spice mix, so I'm ordering it special just so I can make this recipe. I'm new to your channel, but so excited to try out your wonderful concoctions.
Nice, I hope you like it. The bharat isn't 100% essential, it's just a mixed middle eastern spice, and it helps to add some flavour to the dish, but most of the flavour comes from the sauce and from the citrus
@@MiddleEats I looked it up and it sounds like it will definitely be worth the investment. I want my first bite to be as close to what you made as possible! 🤤
I made the dish and it was fabulous! I used sirloin and added lamb tallow and it tasted quite lamby and delicious. Had it on brioche and served with a nice side salad. Thank you again, Oba and I wish you continued success and good fortune with your channel.

That would be closer to a Turkish Donner kebab than a shawarma. Most Donner is made from minced beef and lamb.

That sounds like the perfect kind of meat! Glad you liked it and you owe me a photo for next time!
I've always wanted to make this. Thanks for the informative video!
No problem, hope to see some photos.
Thank you for your fantastic videos. I enjoy your channel! Today was my first time making one of your recipes. I made beef shawarma sandwiches for a group of family and friends for game night. Everyone enjoyed it, even the kids! Thank you for a delightful channel and delicious recipes.
Please, let's not call these "cheap" meats. While I enjoy a good steak, tenderloin or roast, often these "cheap" cuts satisfy me even more. Deep, rich flavor, and if cooked right, no knife required. These less expensive cuts are in no way inferior to the more expensive cuts, and a pressure cooker is a Godsend for cooking them. I could practically taste this as you were cooking it, and I must admit, I was more than a little jealous watching you eat it! It looks like topside would be roughly equivalent to rump roast here in the States, but I'm betting chuck would be awesome in this recipe. Putting this on my to do list!
Just made this! So good
!I love all of your recipes.my whole family liked it this. No o leftovers
Here in Kuwait we get shawarma sandwiches with Sammoun buns which are similar to Iraqi Sammoun bread but a bit sweeter and more fluffy, not to mention most of our Falafel shops serve sandwiches with it, I prefer it to the normal pita bread because how soft it is and it soaks shawarma grease and tahini sauce.
I love samoun bread, the thing you described sounds great. Yeah the soaking of the juice is what makes the buns a good choice.
hey, just recently i have discovered your channel and i am enjoying it very much. as an israeli, i am no strranger to middle-eastern food, but have never paid attention to it very much. i am having so many wonderful ideas with my own regular meals, and thats so fun for me.
thanks a lot!
ya gamed! Bro you have a ton of potential. Keep it up!
I cooked it today, finally.
Marinated overnight and cooked in a cast iron pot in the oven at 90C fan for 3 hours. I used beef chuck and a Moroccan ras el hanout blend and wrapped it dürüm style with salad in a Lebanese pita. So that was nearly all the way around the Mediterranean. Egyptians, please bear with me.
It tasted great and was wonderfully messy to eat 😄
Obi my friend this was absolutely delicious as always
Idk how I found your channel, but glad I did because you are inspiring me to make more foods that I'm not aware of making.
This looks good! I live in the middle of the North American continent and there’s nothing like this up here! I’m going to make this!
Thank you for all your recipes.
Very interesting technique, i wouldn't have guessed that you'd do it this way! it makes sense though, when im making my best beef chili it cooks to this perfect amount with a gentle simmer to the best consistency.
Yeah, the tahini sauce has a strong flavour which usually masks most grill/char flavour
Sumac is non-negotiable. Nothing else in the world tastes like it. It is one of the most amazing spices I've ever used. Whenever I make hummus, I absolutely blanket the top with sumac and a home-made dried chili pepper blend.
Oh man, I thaught, you needed to bbq shawarma. I‘m so f‘ing glad to see that that is not so 😍
It's not as important with beef shawarma, because the tahini sauce has a strong flavour which usually masks the smokiness.
@@MiddleEats Great information, brother. Cheers.
excited to make this for my family when i visit them inshallah ❤️
You seem like such a nice person... all the best!
Thank you!
Great video! Could you do a video on making döner at home too? I know there's a lot of regional varieties, I'd love to see what you come up with :D
Brilliant, thank you!
I've never had Egyptian style shawarma but this looks magnificent
I tried out this recipe tonight and it was amazing. I'm definitely gonna try out more dishes from you.
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT... subbbing to this hope it pays out!
Thank you Obi!! Love your videos!! I love shwarma and always hesitate to try it due to the process, this is doable! Thank you again brother!!
Side note,, I Love all types of hot sauces, Do you have a hot sauce recipe, any type?
I have an amazing hot sauce, probably my favourite one in the world and I have a huge collection of hotsauces. Check out my chilli and garlic sauce video, should be about a year ago.
Wow, this looks incredible!! I have never tasted Baharat spice mix, so I'm ordering it special just so I can make this recipe. I'm new to your channel, but so excited to try out your wonderful concoctions.
Nice, I hope you like it. The bharat isn't 100% essential, it's just a mixed middle eastern spice, and it helps to add some flavour to the dish, but most of the flavour comes from the sauce and from the citrus
@@MiddleEats I looked it up and it sounds like it will definitely be worth the investment. I want my first bite to be as close to what you made as possible! 🤤
I made the dish and it was fabulous! I used sirloin and added lamb tallow and it tasted quite lamby and delicious. Had it on brioche and served with a nice side salad. Thank you again, Oba and I wish you continued success and good fortune with your channel.
Looks great, definitely keen to try this one for myself. Any thoughts on using a pressure cooker to speed things up with cheaper cuts?
Yeah, it should work great with a pressure cooker.
Good Lord. Allah has really blessed humanity. From its sustenance to those who present manuals for the preparation thereof.
Thank you
You’re awesome bro, all my respect!
Thanks Tamer
