I cut up a steak into small peices after I BBQ it. I toast the bread over the fire until golden brown. Cut in half put some steak and a garden salad=lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, onions, and red radish.
I make a vinegarette=1cup apple cider vinegar, 1&1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon dry onion flakes, 1 tablespoon of dry garlic flakes, 2 tablespoon of horseradish mustard, a teaspoon of pepper a half teaspoon of salt. Wisk everything together except the oil. When well combined wisk the oil in slowly. For best results let sit over night refrigerated. I keep this on hand year round as this is also a good marinade.

Looks very tasty, given the spices it sort of reminds me of an american style taco meat quesadilla, but in a good way lol. I really like the idea of an italian style arayes as well, served with a bit of marinara on the side mmmm. I bet you could serve these with some golden rice too, not gonna lie I have made golden rice a dozen times since you posted that video, lord have mercy on my waistline.

I used to work in a Lebanese restaurant that made these, except we added cherry sumac and a dash of cinnamon to the beef mixture, as well as a handful of toasted pine nuts. We (the staff) also experimented on our own stuffing with some extra onions, or tomatoes. It was very delicious, and I'd highly recommend trying to find or use cherry sumac in this, as well as pine nuts.

I bet these would be pretty good with cheese mixed in, too. Though, honestly, it seems like a variation on a standard sandwich with the main deal being that it's pan fried pita. You could probably just cook the meat ahead of time, stuff the bread, and cook it at a higher heat to fry them faster and not have to worry if the filling is cooked or not.

I'm glad I bought that package of grass fed, finished ground beef because a cheeseburger Arayes seems on the horizon. But, I love lamb so I foresee getting some of that, as well! Welcome back, CJ! By the way, I bought an 8 pound sack of CA oranges that came with 8 oranges meaning each orange was 1 pound! Softball sized oranges!

There is a very fine line between this Lebanese recipe and the Mongolian Khushuur that my wife makes. I would suggest substituting finely chopped meat instead of ground. It adds an extra chew factor to it that blends with the crunchy texture of the wrapper.

We love you Chef John!
On a more personal note; during the pandemic you really helped to demystify cooking for me--and I got to love cooking at home so much that 4 years after beginning my learn to really cook journey, I'm opening a restaurant!

Please can you add metric measures to your recipe, most of the world doesn't use cups. I tried converting the Blueberry muffin recipe and it worked for the most part but the crumble was off because my conversion for flour was wrong.

Chef! I NEED you to cook m'beyu, an argentinian-paraguayan recipe, I think it may be an interesting flavor and texture to try, some people stuff it with ham & cheese (w/ afternoon tea or coffee, capresse stuffing, etc. Please give it a try!

As someone who made this dish for many years: Do yourselves a big favor and consider making more than 2 pieces per person. Trust me on this, I never met a person who ate only 2 halves! (including myself!

I’ve been watching Chef John for many years, and I love that he says, cold fresh water. Like what kind of water does he think we’re using Old stale water Water from a swamp. You’re the best Chef John.

These have been popular here for a while. I'm used to pitas being thicker than this, that's probably why they'd have more meat, and also my friends usually make them on the grill. Great, fun food to eat.

I PITA the fool I have made this before, but I've never dared cooking the raw meat in the pita. It's just a little less stressful to fry up the meat first.

Not only the smaller containers look better on video, they take up less space in the fridge, so I too prefer the smallest container possible method haha
