Ingredients

For the beef: 2 teaspoons garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon ground oregano, 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1 pound ground beef.

For the donair sauce: 1 can evaporated milk(12 fluid ounce), ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¾ cup white sugar, and 4 teaspoons white vinegar (or according to taste).

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C. Mix together the salt, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, flour, black pepper, and Italian seasoning in a bowl or cup.

  • Put the ground beef in a large bowl; then mix in the spice blend. Knead the meat well so it sticks together well when you slice it. Shape the beef into a loaf shape; then place it on a broiler pan or baking sheet.

  • Cook this in the preheated oven for 1¼ hours, turning it over halfway through to give an even bake. You can either serve this immediately, or leave it to cool then slice and reheat.

  • For the donair sauce, mix the milk, garlic powder, and sugar in a bowl. Slowly add the white vinegar, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches the consistency you want.

​Directions

For the donair meat:

  • Add all the ingredients together, mix and knead really well or use a food processor. You should be aiming for a homogenous grainy consistency. When you're ready, form this mixture into loaf shapes and put this on a wire rack.

  • Bake the loaves in a preheated oven at 350°F for approximately 1 hour. Take them out the oven and let them cool for 1-2 hours in the fridge. When this is done, you can slice the meat into narrow strips.

For either type of sauce:

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl apart from the vinegar. Gradually whisk in the vinegar until the sauce is thickened and ready to spoon out. Be careful not to over-whisk.

Make the donair

  • ŸDice the onion and tomato. Heat some oil in a pan, then fry some strips of the meat. When it's done, place the meat to one side and cover with tinfoil.

  • ŸHeat some more oil, wet a pitta bread under the tap then quickly brown the bread in the pan on both sides.

  • ŸPlate the pitta, then add the meat, onions, and tomato as you wish. Spoon on some donair sauce, fold over the pitta, and enjoy!
