Ingredients for Spiced Beef and Onion Pitas with Parsley Sauce

• 3 cups loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (from 2 bunches)

• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

• 2 colheres de sopa de água

• 1 tablespoon chopped shallot

• 1 colher de chá de açúcar

• 1/2 colher de chá de sal

• 1/4 colher de chá de pimenta preta

• 60ml de azeite de oliva

• 4 (6-inch) pita loaves with pockets

• 60ml olive oil or vegetable oil

• 450g white onions, quartered lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide wedges

• 3/4 colher de chá de coentro em pó

• 1/2 colher de chá de cominho em pó

• 1/2 colher de chá de sal

• 1/4 colher de chá de pimenta preta

• 450g sliced stir-fry beef (top round) or 1/3-inch-thick top round steaks, cut into 1/3-inch-wide strips

Purée all sauce ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Toast pitas on rack of a gas burner over high heat, turning with tongs, until heated through but still pliable (pitas may puff), about 1 minute, then wrap in foil to keep warm. (Alternatively, wrap untoasted pitas in foil and warm in a preheated 149°C oven or toaster oven.)

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté half of onions, stirring occasionally, until browned but still crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Sauté remaining onions in 1 tablespoon oil in same manner and transfer to plate (reserve skillet).

Stir together coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pat beef dry and toss with spices. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat, then sauté half of beef, stirring, until browned but still pink inside, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer beef to plate with onions, then sauté remaining beef in remaining tablespoon oil in same manner.

Halve pitas and fill with beef and onions. Serve sauce on the side.
