Beef Doner Kebab - 2 easy ways to make it at home!
Beef doner, also known as beef doner kebab or shawarma, is a popular street food that originated in the Middle East but is now enjoyed worldwide. It typically involves thinly sliced marinated beef, stacked on a vertical rotisserie. The meat is cooked as it rotates, and it is commonly served in a flatbread or pita, often with vegetables and various sauces.

Directions
Use ground Meat that has at least 20% fat
Add the Salt & Pepper, Spices, Sour Cream, Red Pepper & the Onion puree that I will strain over the meat
Mix this well together
Add this in batches in a food processor and grind briefly to a paste
It’s important to have this consistency so it doesn’t fall apart when you slice it
Now for the first method - divide the mixture-and bake at 350 for 60 mins
Cool, reserve the oil released for later
Chill this and then slice
The other method is to create logs of the raw Meat
Wrap up each log in cling film and freeze it 4 hrs to overnight
To slice, simply use a sharp knife and slice as thinly as possibly or use a Meat slicer
With the raw meat, start to cook it immediately while it is still frozen so it holds its shape.
The last step is to caramelize the pieces of meat whether they are cooked or uncooked using the reserved fat
Before assembling, I like to heat the bread over the same surface to sop up all the juices.
Roll this up or serve it deconstructed with all the fictions, garlic and pepper sauce, Parsley & Onions, Fries and sliced Tomatoes
