2. Marinate Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the beef strips with lemon juice, ground allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Toss until the beef is evenly coated in the marinade. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.

3. Prepare Tomatoes: Core the Roma tomatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Place them on a baking sheet with the skin side up. Broil the tomatoes about 4 inches from the heat until they are browned, approximately 6 minutes. Once browned, set aside.

4. Warm Pocket Bread: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Stack the pocket bread in the center of a piece of foil and wrap it securely. Place the wrapped pocket bread in the oven along with the tomatoes, and allow them to warm for 5-10 minutes, or until ready to serve.

5. Cook Beef Mixture: In a large skillet, add the marinated beef mixture. Cook over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink and is cooked through. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a serving bowl, leaving the juices in the skillet.

6. Reduce Juices: Increase the heat under the skillet to high and boil the juices until they are reduced to approximately 1/4 cup. Pour the reduced juices over the cooked beef in the serving bowl. Season with salt to taste and toss to combine.

7. Assemble Beef Pockets: To assemble the beef pockets, take half of a pocket bread and fill it with some of the cooked beef, sliced red onion, roasted tomatoes, parsley, and cucumber slices. Drizzle with the Sesame Yogurt Sauce for an extra burst of flavor.

8. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Beef Pockets as a satisfying meal or snack, accompanied by the delightful Sesame Yogurt Sauce for a truly memorable culinary experience.
