Dashs Donair Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground beef, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Pack the spiced meat into a thick loaf shape, cover, and let rest in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the meat loaf onto a baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour, flipping the loaf over halfway through cooking. Allow the meat loaf to cool so it holds together for slicing.
• Mix together the evaporated milk and white sugar in a bowl, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and then add the vinegar by teaspoons, mixing together after each addition, to taste. Refrigerate the sauce until serving.
• Slice the meat loaf into 1/4-inch thick slices, and brown the slices in a skillet over medium heat until both sides are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side.
• Sprinkle the pita bread rounds with a little water, and press each onto a heated skillet to warm up.
• To serve, place several slices of meat into a warmed pita bread, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce over the meat. Roll the pita bread into a cone shape, wrap in aluminum foil to keep the sauce from dripping out, and serve.

Steps:

• DONIR MEAT: take all the spices mix them together well add the spices to the meat a little at a time,working the spices through the meat well when spices are all worked into the meat,pick the meat up and throw it down into a steel mixing bowl.
• Do this 20-30 times, kneading it after each time.
• When throwing the meat you need to throw it down with force.
• This gives the meat the proper texture, like you find at a donair shop. Once this is done cut the meat into 1 lb loafs; pat the meat like you would a hamburger, but make it into a loaf shape. Place the loaves on a broiler pan (if you don't have one a cookie sheet will do). Bake at 350°F for 1-1/4 hrs (turn them over at half the way through).
• Let the meat cool down before you cut it.
• Once it is cut up, you can fry it or not, depending if you like your donair meat crispy or not.
• DONAIR SAUCE: Open the can of milk pour it into a steel or glass bowl (not plastic--it won't set up properly in plastic). Pour the sugar & garlic powder in; mix this together well.
• Slowly add the vinegar and mix this together slowly. (If you mix the vinegar in too fast it won't thicken up properly).
• Once this is done cover and refrigerate.
• TO PREPARE DONAIRS: Heat the meat up in a frying pan till it is lightly crispy.
• Wet a pita bread and place it into a lightly oiled pan; cook it until it is soft on medium heat.
• Once this is done, take sauce & lightly coat the pita on one side.
• Place about 100g of meat and then pour more donair sauce over it.
• Place chopped onion & tomatoes on it.
• bon appitite!
• PS. The leftover meat can be kept in the freezer for future use. The sauce however will only last a couple of days once refrigerated.
