Have you tried the viral doner kebab that’s going around TikTok? It’s a hack for making the popular Turkish street food in the oven using ground beef, onion, garlic, greek yogurt and spices. The key is mixing everything together really well, then rolling it tightly in parchment paper and baking it in the oven. It creates thin slices of beef without using a spinning spit. This method was shared by Meze Mike and I just think it’s so cool!
This viral oven-baked Doner Kebab recipe reimagines traditional Turkish street food by using a seasoned ground beef mixture wrapped in parchment paper, eliminating the need for a rotating spit. The technique results in tender, flavorful meat that can be sliced thin, making it an excellent option for easy weeknight dinners.
Doner Kebab Ingredients
- Ground beef: I like using 85% lean because it has enough fat to keep the meat tender without being greasy. You can use 90% lean if that’s what you have, but the texture will be a little firmer. You can sub with ground turkey or ground chicken.
- Onion: Grate the onion instead of dicing it. The grated texture helps it blend right into the meat, and the extra moisture helps keep everything juicy.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic works best. If you’re out, ¾ teaspoon of garlic powder will work (since 1 clove = ¼ teaspoon).
- Greek yogurt: This helps tenderize the meat and adds a little tang. Use whole-milk yogurt if you have it, but low-fat works too.
- Seasoning: You’ll need cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. These are classic spices for Turkish-style meat. You can adjust the cumin and coriander depending on how warm you want the flavor.
