Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 medium Tomatoes, sliced
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 200 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, grated onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Shape the beef mixture into a loaf shape on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Brush the loaf with olive oil on all sides to help achieve a nicely browned crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches about 75°C (167°F) and the outside is nicely browned.
While the beef cooks, prepare the sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh mint in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Once the beef loaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the loaf thinly.
To assemble the kebabs, take a lettuce leaf, place a few slices of beef, and top with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade low-carb beef doner kebabs!
