Shawarma Cheesesteak Sandwich
The viral Philadelphia-Levant collision — a Philly cheesesteak made with shawarma-spiced beef (cumin, allspice, cinnamon, turmeric, coriander), caramelised onions and peppers, topped with melted provolone and the non-negotiable garlic toum sauce instead of Cheez Whiz. Wrapped in a hoagie roll.

Ingredients
Method
Mix shawarma spices with oil. Toss sliced beef in the spice mix.
About 5 min
Sauté onion and pepper over high heat until caramelised (8–10 minutes). Push to side of pan.
About 14 min
Add beef in one layer; cook over very high heat, chopping and stirring, for 2–3 minutes until just cooked.
About 14 min
Mix meat with onion and pepper. Lay cheese slices on top; cover pan for 1 minute until melted.
About 14 min
Toast hoagie rolls. Spread toum on both halves. Fill generously with the cheesesteak. Add pickled chillies. The toum replaces Cheez Whiz — and it's transformative.
