Step 1
Prepare the donair sauce by whisking the sweetened condensed milk, garlic powder and vinegar together until evenly combined. You can use this right away but it tastes best if it sits 1 hour - overnight in the fridge.
Step 2
In a large bowl or stand mixer, add the ground beef, spice and breadcrumbs. Mix on medium-low for about 10 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed. Mix until the texture of the meat has changed from a ground beef consistency to a smooth texture, or mix by hand in a large bowl for 15 - 20 minutes.
Step 3
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 4
Place meat mixture onto a clean working surface (counter or cutting board or on a piece of parchment paper on your kitchen counter). Shape the meat into a log.
Step 5
Pick up the log several times and throw it down on to the counter to help get out any air pockets that may still be in the meat. Shape the meat into a smooth log.
Step 6
Carefully slide a metal skewer through the center of the meat. Wrap fully in foil and tighten the edges to cover the meat at the ends of the skewer.
Step 7
Bake for approximately 2 hours on the middle rack of oven.
Step 8
Remove the foil from the donair log and place the skewers in the donair log on the baking pan. Bake for another 20 minutes or until browned all over and cooked through. Or place the donair in an air fryer or rotisserie oven to brown the outside.
Step 9
Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing. Holding the skewer slightly at an angle, carefully shave thin slices off the donair.
Step 10
Prepare your toppings. Dice onion and tomato into bite sized pieces. Cut as many square pieces of foil you need for the number of wraps you are making, slightly larger than your pita for wrapping.
Step 11
Pan fry the donair in a small amount of oil until golden brown. Place a pita on top to warm up the pita and soften it. This will make the pita more pliable.
Step 12
Place the pita on top of a square of aluminum foil, top with donair sauce, meat, onion, tomato and more donair sauce on top.
Step 13
Wrap the aluminum foil around the donair and place into the oven for about 5 minutes to warm at 350°F.
Step 14
Repeat these steps for as many donairs as you are making.
Step 15
Enjoy!
