Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds 85% lean ground beef
- 1 large onion grated
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion sliced into wedges
- 2 Roma tomatoes sliced into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the ground beef, grated onion, garlic, yogurt, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Divide the mixture in the bowl into four equal portions.
- Place one portion in the center of a sheet of parchment about 12x16. Place another parchment paper the same size on top and use your hands or a rolling pin to roll the beef mixture into a thin rectangle, the shape of the parchment paper..
- Starting from the long side, fold the parchment over the meat and roll it tightly until it forms a flat, compact log. Repeat with the three portions of meat.
- Place the parchment-wrapped logs onto the prepared baking sheet. Add the onions and tomatoes on the side. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Let the logs cool just enough to handle. Unroll, break the meat apart into small chunks or thin slices, and return it to the baking sheet.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, just until lightly golden with crisp edges.
- Serve in warm pita with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and tahini sauce.

Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet or the oven until warmed through, or give it a quick warm-up in the microwave.
Freezing: Freeze the doner kebab, either cooked or uncooked, for up to 3 months. Cooked: Slice the baked meat, lay the pieces flat on a sheet pan, freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat straight from frozen in a skillet or in the oven. Uncooked: Lay the pieces flat on a sheet pan, freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook it straight from frozen; just add an extra 5 minutes to the cook time.
