Easy Doner-Style Kebab Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef (lean (80/20) ground beef)
• 1 lb Ground Lamb (freshly minced lamb)
• 1 medium Onion (grated for moisture and flavor)
• 2 tbsp Greek Yogurt (plain, full‑fat)
• 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (adds richness and helps bind)
• 1 tsp Paprika (smoked paprika preferred)
• 1 tsp Ground Cumin
• 1 tsp Ground Coriander
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 whole Lemon (juice only, for finishing)
• 4 pieces Warm Pita Bread (for serving)
• 1 medium Tomato (sliced, optional topping)
• 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped, optional garnish)
• 1 dash Hot Sauce (optional, to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 400°F and let it fully preheat.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 400°F

2. Prepare Onion

   Grate the onion finely and set aside.

   Time: PT5M

3. Combine Base Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ground lamb, grated onion, Greek yogurt, and olive oil.

   Time: PT5M

4. Add Spices

   Stir in paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

   Time: PT5M

5. Mix Thoroughly

   Using your hands or a sturdy spoon, mix everything until the mixture is uniformly combined and slightly sticky.

   Time: PT5M

6. Roll the Meat Thin

   Lay a sheet of parchment on a clean surface, spread the meat mixture onto it, then place a second parchment sheet on top. Use a rolling pin to roll the meat out into a super‑thin layer that reaches the edges of the parchment.

   Time: PT10M

7. Fold Edges

   Remove the top parchment sheet, then fold the outer edges of the bottom parchment up to create a shallow border that will contain the juices while baking.

   Time: PT3M

8. Bake the Meat Sheet

   Transfer the parchment (with meat) onto a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, turning the sheet over and draining excess fat halfway through.

   Time: PT30M

   Temperature: 400°F

9. Optional Extra Browning

   If you prefer a deeper crust, bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

10. Finish with Lemon

    Remove from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot meat sheet, and let rest for 2 minutes.

    Time: PT2M

11. Serve

    Cut the meat sheet into portions, serve on warm pita bread, and top with sliced tomato, chopped parsley, extra yogurt sauce, and a dash of hot sauce if desired.

    Time: PT5M
