Instructions

Doner Kebab

In a food processor or by hand using a box grater, finely shred or grate the onion
Add the beef, spices and yogurt and blend until well combined (if you used a box grater for the onion, you can add the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix by hand)
Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare 8 large sheets of parchment paper
Divide beef mixture equally among 4 sheets of the parchment paper
Using a second sheet of parchment paper and a rolling pin (or by hand), press the beef flat and roll until very thin and almost the full size of the parchment paper
Starting from one end, fold parchment tightly into rolls and place on a medium baking sheet
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and drain the fat on the baking sheet
Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes
Carefully unroll the parchment paper sheets and lay out the beef
Broil for 1-2 minutes until crispy and lightly charred
Chop or tear into smaller pieces of desired size

Lemon Garlic Herb Sauce

While the beef is in the oven, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt and freshly cracked black pepper until combined then set aside

Tomato-Cucumber Salad

While the beef is in the oven, toss together the cucumber, tomato, parsley, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sumac and salt then set aside

To Assemble

In a small bowl, mix the sliced red onion with the sumac
Spread lemon garlic sauce on flatbread, top with beef, sumac onions, tomatoes and other toppings of choice then roll tightly and slice in half
Serve with Tomato-Cucumber Salad and extra Lemon Garlic Herb Sauce for dipping

Notes

Note 1: The original creator of this recipe is MezeMike. You can find his version on his social media channels. All credit for the idea and inspiration behind this recipe goes to the original creator.

Note 2: You can use either lean or extra lean ground beef for this recipe. Both will turn out delicious, but the fat content reduces significantly when using extra lean ground beef. Traditional doner is often made with ground lamb, so feel free to substitute with ground lamb, or use a mixture of both.

Note 3: If you don't have all the spices on hand, you can add a little more of the spices you do have. Other spices that would taste great in this recipe are coriander, cinnamon and allspice. You can also use a Turkish kebab spice blend.
