Instructions

1. Prepare the Donair Meat

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9″ x 5″ x 2-1/2″ loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Place all meat and spice ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
3. Mix on low for 30 seconds. Gradually increase speed.
4. Mix on medium-high until the meat mixture is completely even and smooth, about 1 minute.
5. Firmly pack the meat into the prepared loaf pan. Gently bang the pan against the counter to remove any air pockets.
6. Create a bain-marie by placing the loaf pan inside a casserole dish halfway filled with water.

2. Bake the Meatloaf

1. Bake the meatloaf on the middle rack of the oven until the internal temperature reaches 150°F, which should take approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.
2. Once cooked, carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan and let it rest for a minimum of 10 minutes before slicing.

3. Make the Donair Sauce

1. While the meat is baking, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, mix together the evaporated milk and sugar.
2. Slowly pour in the vinegar while continuously mixing.
3. Stir in the garlic powder.
4. Refrigerate the sauce for a minimum of 15 minutes to allow it to thicken.

4. Assemble and Serve

1. Thinly slice the rested donair meat.
2. Place a generous amount of sliced donair meat on a pita.
3. Sprinkle with diced onion and tomato.
4. Drizzle generously with the chilled donair sauce.
5. Roll up the pita and enjoy! Repeat with remaining ingredients.
