Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 0.5 medium onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 6 large lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium cucumber, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Add the almond flour and egg to the beef mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a log, approximately 1 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef logs for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are browned and the logs are cooked through.
Reduce the heat and allow the beef logs to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing.
For the yogurt sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, chopped mint, and lemon juice.
To assemble, place a large lettuce leaf on a plate. Add slices of the cooked beef donair, and top with sliced tomato, cucumber, and a dollop of yogurt sauce.
Roll or fold the lettuce over the filling to create a wrap and serve immediately.
