Doner Kebab

Ingredients

• 450 g extra-lean ground beef (95% lean)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 pita breads
• 150 g tzatziki
• 100 g iceberg lettuce, shredded
• 120 g tomato, sliced
• 50 g red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix and knead with your hands until the meat becomes a smooth, tacky paste.
2. Press the seasoned meat firmly into a flat, compact rectangular loaf about ½ inch thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the loaf in the pan.
4. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until well browned and cooked through.
5. Move the loaf to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
6. Using a sharp knife, shave the loaf into very thin, rotisserie-style strips.
7. Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or toaster.
8. Spread tzatziki over each pita, then top with the shaved beef, lettuce, tomato and red onion.
