Dash Riprock's Real Halifax Donair Recipe #90387
I have been a cook at various eating establishments around Halifax. I have even been a pizza/donair cook. Being a lover of Donair's I have put together my own recipe for Donair. I have been making it for a couple of years now, and many people have told me it is one of the best Donair's they have had. So I hope you will enjoy it too.

1¾ hours | 30 min prep
SERVES 4
- 1 lb of medium ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 1 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
DONIAR SAUCE
- 398 ml whole milk
- 175 ml sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 4-6 teaspoons white vinegar
- DONIR MEAT: take all the spices mix them together well add the spices to the meat a little at a time,working the spices through the meat well when spices are all worked into the meat,pick the meat up and throw it down into a steel mixing bowl.
- Do this 20-30 times, kneading it after each time.
- When throwing the meat you need to throw it down with force.
- This gives the meat the proper texture, like you find at a donair shop. Once this is done cut the meat into 1 lb loafs; pat the meat like you would a hamburger, but make it into a loaf shape. Place the loaves on a broiler pan (if you don't have one a cookie sheet will do). Bake at 350°F for 1-1/4 hrs (turn them over at half the way through).
- Let the meat cool down before you cut it.
- Once it is cut up, you can fry it or not, depending if you like your donair meat crispy or not.
- DONAIR SAUCE: Open the can of milk pour it into a steel or glass bowl (not plastic--it won't set up properly in plastic). Pour the sugar & garlic powder in; mix this together well.
- Slowly add the vinegar and mix this together slowly. (If you mix the vinegar in too fast it won't thicken up properly).
- Once this is done cover and refrigerate.
- TO PREPARE DONAIRS: Heat the meat up in a frying pan till it is lightly crispy.
- Wet a pita bread and place it into a lightly oiled pan; cook it until it is soft on medium heat.
- Once this is done, take sauce & lightly coat the pita on one side.
- Place about 100g of meat and then pour more donair sauce over it.
- Place chopped onion & tomatoes on it.
- bon appitite!
- PS. The leftover meat can be kept in the freezer for future use. The sauce however will only last a couple of days once refrigerated.
