Authentic Donairs With Sweet Sauce - ground beef

Method

• For Donair meat
• Place ground beef in a large metal bowl and set aside.
• Mix all the spices together in a small bowl(I use a morter & pestle to grind them together)
• Add spice mix to the meat a little at a time, working it through well. Pick the meat up and throw it down into the bowl(or if you have a large cutting board use it). Do this 20-30 times, kneading it after each throw.(When throwing the meat you need to do so with force this gives the meat the proper texture).
• Heat oven to 350F
• Form the meat into a loaf patting it down like you would a hamburger,but making it into a flat loaf shape. Place the loaf on a broiler pan (if you don't have one a cookie sheet will do).
• Bake for 1-1/4 hrs (turning over half way through).
• Let the meat cool down somewhat before cutting it into strips.
• (optional)Fry meat slices if you want crispy meat.
• Warm a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly wet each pita and cook it in the pan turning until softened.
• For the Sauce
• 1. Combine both milks with onion powder and garlic in a medium glass or metal bowl(not plastic, as for some reason it doesn't set up right in one).
• 2. Slowly add vinegar and stir lightly with a fork just until mixture thickens. Stir it too much and it will become runny.
• 3. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• To Serve
• Warm a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly wet each pita and cook it in the pan, turning until warm and softened.
• Lightly coat a pita on one side with donair sauce.
• Place some of the meat on the pita and pour more sauce over it. Add shredded lettuce chopped onion & tomato before folding and serve.
