Here is recipe of a Pinoy style beef shawarma. This version uses beef tapa instead of the usual roast beef and the combination of garlic and mayonnaise instead yogurt. But if you prefer, you can use yogurt depending on your preference. In my opinion, beef tapa is simpler to prepare compared to roast beef specially you don’t have an oven because you only need a skillet to cook the beef tapa.

      Hi Joana, I have no idea how long will this last on the fridge. But I think it will last very long if you will freeze the meat filling to store it. Then if you want to serve it, just make a shawarma after heating the meat filling in the microwave then heat the pita wrappers then assemble them.

      Hi Misshomecook, you can use any Filipino soy sauce but our favorite soy sauce is Maggi Soy cooking and seasoning sauce. It is even great in cooking adobo.
