Prep 15 min Cook 18 min Serves 8 Source

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds 85% lean ground beef
  • 1 large onion (grated)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ¼ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large red onion (sliced into wedges)
  • 2 Roma tomatoes (sliced into wedges)

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef, grated onion, garlic, yogurt, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Divide the mixture in the bowl into four equal portions.

  4. 4

    Place one portion in the center of a sheet of parchment about 12x16. Place another parchment paper the same size on top and use your hands or a rolling pin to roll the beef mixture into a thin rectangle, the shape of the parchment paper..

  5. 5

    Starting from the long side, fold the parchment over the meat and roll it tightly until it forms a flat, compact log. Repeat with the three portions of meat.

  6. 6

    Place the parchment-wrapped logs onto the prepared baking sheet. Add the onions and tomatoes on the side. Bake for 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Let the logs cool just enough to handle. Unroll, break the meat apart into small chunks or thin slices, and return it to the baking sheet.

  8. 8

    Broil for 2-3 minutes, just until lightly golden with crisp edges.

  9. 9

    Serve in warm pita with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and tahini sauce.
