Ingredients

• 2 White Onion (peeled and quartered; processed into a fine paste)
• 2 lb Ground Beef (80% lean, preferably cold for easier handling)
• 2 tbsp Plain Yogurt (full‑fat Greek yogurt works best)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil (extra‑virgin preferred)
• 2 tbsp Paprika Powder (sweet paprika)
• 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
• 0.5 tbsp Cumin Powder
• 0.5 tbsp Red Chili Flakes
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
• to taste Salt
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 sheets Parchment Paper (cut to fit baking tray)

Instructions

1. Make Onion Paste

   Place the peeled white onions in the food processor and pulse until they form a smooth paste.

   Time: PT5M

2. Combine Meat Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion paste, yogurt, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili flakes, black pepper, and salt. Mix with hands until everything is evenly incorporated.

   Time: PT5M

3. Portion and Roll the Meat

   Divide the meat mixture into five equal portions. Place one portion on a sheet of parchment paper, spread it thinly with your hand, then cover with another parchment sheet. Use a rolling pin to roll the meat into a uniform, very thin rectangle (about 1‑2 mm thick). Remove the top parchment, fold the bottom parchment over the meat, and roll it tightly into a small rectangular “donut” parcel. Repeat with the remaining portions.

   Time: PT15M

4. First Bake

   Arrange the sealed meat parcels on a parchment‑lined baking sheet. Bake in a pre‑heated oven at 400°F for 30‑35 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and starts to brown.

   Time: PT35M

   Temperature: 400°F

5. Unroll and Finish

   Remove the tray from the oven. Carefully unroll each parcel; if excess liquid has collected, drain it off. Slice the meat into thin strips, drizzle with lemon juice, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the edges.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

6. Serve

   Serve the hot beef strips in flatbreads, wraps, or as a topping for salads and pizza. Add your favorite sauce or fresh herbs as desired.

   Time: PT0M
