Recipe Summary The Original Donair From The East Coast Of Canada
In the early 70's, a Greek restaurateur in the city of Halifax introduced the Donair. Within a few short years, virtually all pizzerias had added their version of the dish to their menus. Not to be confused with gyros, the Donair has a vastly different flavor. Originally the dish was made with ground lamb, but this proved too costly and ground beef was later substituted. Technically, this resulted in an aberration of sorts, as the final product was not what the originator had intended. What resulted, however, is the legendary East Coast Donair.Ingredients | Top Sirloin Price Canada1 pound ground beef1 teaspoon ground black pepper1 teaspoon onion powder1 teaspoon garlic powder1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon paprika2 teaspoons cayenne pepper1 teaspoon dried oregano1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk½ cup white sugar¼ cup white vinegar, or to taste6 large pita bread roundsDirectionsIn a bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground beef, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Pack the spiced meat into a thick loaf shape, cover, and let rest in the refrigerator overnight.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Place the meat loaf onto a baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour, flipping the loaf over halfway through cooking. Allow the meat loaf to cool so it holds together for slicing.Mix together the evaporated milk and white sugar in a bowl, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and then add the vinegar by teaspoons, mixing together after each addition, to taste. Refrigerate the sauce until serving.Slice the meat loaf into 1/4-inch thick slices, and brown the slices in a skillet over medium heat until both sides are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side.Sprinkle the pita bread rounds with a little water, and press each onto a heated skillet to warm up.To serve, place several slices of meat into a warmed pita bread, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce over the meat. Roll the pita bread into a cone shape, wrap in aluminum foil to keep the sauce from dripping out, and serve.Info | Top Sirloin Price Canadaprep:
