Time 9h10m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground lamb
5 teaspoons all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons salt
5 teaspoons dried oregano
2 ½ teaspoons dry mustard
2 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
2 ½ teaspoons cracked black pepper
2 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons crushed dried chile pepper
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons white vinegar, or as needed
15 pita bread rounds
2 tomatoes, chopped, or more to taste
1 onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a large baking pan with sides.
  • Place beef, lamb, flour, salt, oregano, dry mustard, 2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chile pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning in a bowl; knead all ingredients together with your hands until mixture is like a paste, about 10 minutes. Roll the meat mixture into a large loaf shape, and place into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from oven; place meat on a drip rack until completely cool to allow juices and fat to drain. Refrigerate meat for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Stir evaporated milk, sugar, and 2 teaspoons garlic powder together in a small bowl; gradually stir in vinegar just until mixture thickens.
  • Slice donair meat into strips about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Fry meat strips in single-sandwich batches in a skillet over medium-high heat until meat begins to crisp at the edges; remove from pan. Quickly rub 1 pita round lightly with water; fry pita in same frying pan, turning once, just until warm, about 1 minute.
  • Spread pita with about 1/2 tablespoons of sauce mixture, top with donair meat, and garnish with onion, tomato, and more sauce; repeat with remaining meat and pita.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons white vinegar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a cup or small bowl, mix together the salt, oregano, flour, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Place the ground beef in a large bowl, and use your hands to blend in the spice mixture. If you want the smooth texture of meat that you see in a real donair shop, you must do this in a steel mixing bowl and on a sturdy surface. Pick up the meat, and throw it down with force about 20 times, kneading it after each throw. This also helps the meat hold together better when you slice it.
  • Form the meat into a loaf, and place it on a broiler pan. If you do not have one, a baking sheet will do.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, turning the loaf over about half way through. This will ensure even cooking. Serve, or allow the meat to chill before slicing and reheating.
  • To make the donair sauce, mix together the evaporated milk, sugar and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the white vinegar, adding 1 teaspoon at a time, until thickened to your desired consistency.

DONAIR



Donair image

Donairs are a delicacy prevalent in the Canadian east coast, and certainly centered on the City of Halifax, they are very simple to prepare and very delicious. Make a double batch of the meatloaf, and freeze the second loaf for later, in fact the second loaf will be better! When cold you can slice it thinner and fry up the slices in the frying pan as you need them.

  • Bake for 2 hours in the preheated oven, until cooked through. Set aside to cool for at least 1/2 hour, the meat will slice even better if it is actually chilled completely.
