Best 3 Authentic Donairs With Sweet Sauce Recipes

DASH'S DONAIR

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.

LEBANESE DONAIR

Steps:

• Place the sliced beef into a flat, ovenproof dish. Stir the red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, allspice, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, salt, tomatoes and garlic together in a bowl until well blended. Pour over the beef, turning slices to coat evenly. Cover, and refrigerate 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove the cover from the dish with the beef, and cook in preheated oven until the meat is no longer pink, about 50 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, make the parsley sauce by mixing the parsley, sweet onion, and 1/2 cup olive oil together in a bowl. Place the tomatoes in a bowl, and set aside until needed.
• Make the tahini sauce by mixing the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and water together in a bowl. Season to taste with salt.
• To serve, place the pita bread rounds on serving plates. Spoon some of the meat mixture down the center of each pita round. Top with the parsley mix, tomatoes, and tahini sauce. Roll up the sides of the pita bread around the filling, and serve.

AUTHENTIC DONAIRS WITH SWEET SAUCE

Steps:

• 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.
