Ingredients

  • Ground beef
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Paprika
  • Dried oregano
  • Evaporated milk
  • Sugar
  • White vinegar
  • Pita bread
  • Tomato
  • Onion

Steps

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, and a generous amount of salt, then knead the mixture firmly with your hands for several minutes until it turns pale and sticky.
  2. 2Press the meat tightly into a loaf shape on a baking sheet or mold it onto a vertical skewer to mimic a spit.
  3. 3Roast the meat in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. 4Let the meat rest for 15 minutes, then slice it into thin shavings once it has firmed up enough to cut cleanly.
  5. 5While the meat rests, whisk together the evaporated milk, sugar, and white vinegar in a bowl, letting the mixture thicken into a sweet, tangy sauce over about 10 minutes.
  6. 6Warm a pita on a dry skillet for about 1 minute per side, until soft and lightly toasted.
  7. 7Reheat a portion of the sliced meat in a hot pan for 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges crisp slightly.
  8. 8Pile the meat onto the warm pita, top with chopped tomato and onion, and drizzle generously with the sweet garlic sauce before folding and serving.
