How to Make Homemade Donair Meat

It really is quite easy to make your own donair meat. First decide what you want to use the meat for.

For sliced donair meat:

This is best used with ground beef that has not been frozen, previously frozen doesn’t form shape (burgers, loaf) well.

You are going to mix your raw lean ground beef and spice mix together. I recommend using a mixer with a bread hook. It works really well to get it mixed together.

Then take your ground beef mix and shape it into a log, as though you were making meatloaf for example.

Bake at 400 for about 30 minutes or until cooked through.

Crumbled donair meat:

In our case we did not want sliced meat so we browned our ground beef, making sure to break it up as it cooked into fine pieces.

Drain off any fat once completely cooked and then mix the donair spice mix into the ground beef.
