Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
- 120 grams Full-fat sour cream
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 4 pieces Keto-friendly flatbread or lettuce leaves
- 100 grams Chopped tomato
- 50 grams Chopped onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), egg, and almond flour.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a sturdy spatula until the meat mixture is well combined and slightly sticky.
Shape the mixture into a compact loaf and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the donair meat in the oven for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the sweet garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, powdered erythritol, white vinegar, and minced garlic until smooth. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Once the meat is rested, slice it thinly using a sharp knife.
To assemble, lay a warmed keto-friendly flatbread or a large lettuce leaf on a plate. Arrange a portion of sliced donair meat in the center, and top with chopped tomato and onion. Drizzle with the sweet garlic sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy a low-carb take on the traditional donair!
