Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 lean)
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, grated and drained
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 4 pieces Pita bread

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the ground beef in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a smooth, paste-like consistency.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the beef paste with the grated onion, minced garlic, yogurt, and all spices.

  3. 3

    Knead the mixture by hand for 5 minutes to ensure the proteins bind and the texture becomes elastic.

  4. 4

    Form the meat into a tight, uniform log shape and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  5. 5

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the meat log on a wire rack over a baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Bake for 50-60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

  7. 7

    Let the meat rest for 10 minutes, then use a very sharp knife to shave off thin, ribbon-like slices.

  8. 8

    Quickly sear the shaved slices in a hot pan with a drop of oil for crispy edges before serving in pita.
