For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the pita bread briefly before assembling the donairs. Adjust the amount of lemon juice in the tahini sauce to your preference. Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as cucumbers or bell peppers. If you don't have top round steak, you can substitute with another cut of beef suitable for thinly slicing. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade or tahini sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMarinate the Beef: In a flat, oven-proof baking dish, arrange the sliced beef. In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomatoes, red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, allspice, garlic, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, and salt. Pour the mixture over the beef, ensuring each slice is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. (Marinating Time: 4+ hours)
02
StepPreheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (Preheat Time: ~15 minutes)
03
StepBake the Beef: Uncover the baking dish and cook the beef in the preheated oven until it is no longer pink. (Baking Time: ~50 minutes). Let the beef cool slightly while you prepare the salad and sauce.
04
StepPrepare the Parsley Salad: In a bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, sweet onion, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well. (Prep Time: ~5 minutes)
05
StepMake the Tahini Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste. (Prep Time: ~5 minutes)
06
StepAssemble the Donairs: Warm the pita bread rounds lightly. Place each pita on a serving plate and spoon the cooked beef down the center. Top with the fresh parsley salad, a generous drizzle of tahini sauce, and the coarsely chopped tomatoes. Roll up the sides of the pita bread around the filling and serve immediately. (Assembly Time: ~10 minutes)
