Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 15 mins

Ready Time: 1 hr 45 mins


• 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.
