Halifax-Style Donair
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground oregano
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 4 teaspoons white vinegar, or as needed
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for optimal cooking results.
2
Mix together salt, oregano, flour, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl or cup to create the spice blend.
3
Next, place ground beef in a large steel mixing bowl and use your hands to thoroughly combine the spice mixture with the meat, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
4
Then, utilize a kneading motion to blend the spice mixture into the meat approximately 20 times, which will help strengthen its structure and facilitate easier slicing.
5
Form the blended meat into a loaf shape, placing it on a sturdy broiler pan or baking sheet for even cooking.
6
After preparation, bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, rotating it halfway through to guarantee uniform baking.
7
Alternatively, serve the warm loaf with your preferred sauce or refrigerate it before reheating and slicing.
8
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining evaporated milk, sugar, and garlic powder in a medium-sized bowl.
9
Gradually whisk the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency by adding white vinegar, 1 teaspoon at a time.
