Whisk together vinegar and 6 tablespoons oil in a small bowl. Pour mixture into the meat. Cover and let it marinate overnight (or at least 3 hours) in the fridge.

For the sauce, in a food processor, add garlic and pulse a few times. Add tahini, lemon juice, parsley, and water and pulse to combine. Give a taste and season with salt if needed.
Stuff pita breads with beef slices, tomatoes, pickles, and the sauce.
