What is Doner Kebab meat made of?
Ahh, youve always wondered, havent you??
Heres what you need.
Bacon* is the surprise secret ingredient for this homemade version more on this below!
- Note: Ive received many emails/messages questioning the inclusion of bacon in this recipe.
Beef or lamb get 15% fat for best results.
If you inspect those kebab shop meats closely, you will see they are DRIPPING with fat!!
Also remember, the flavour of meat is all in the fat.
Mix lamb fat into lean beef, and youd swear youre eating lamb!
It is key, do not skip it!
The reason it is included is to make this recipe accessible for home cooks.
Traditional doner kebab meat is made with loads of animal fat.
Whip off the foil at the end to brown it, stand it upright and carve!!
Its the same special finishing touch we do withMexican Carnitas!
And heres a close up of the Doner Kebab Meat being pan fried.
It only takes a minute or so because its so thin.

Wildly popular here in Australia, particularly after a late night out at the pub with mates!
Optional extras include cheese (which I think is a blasphemy!)
Imagine it over CHARCOAL!!
Ive had to make do with a boring old oven to cook this.
I would LOVE to to make this over charcoal one day!
Those words all translate to turning or rotating meat and they refer to the rotisserie cooking technique.
Which word is used depends which part of the Mediterranean or Middle East youre in.
Shawarma is Israel and Arab countries (spicing is much stronger).
Doner Kebab is what they call it in Turkey.
As for what animal meat it is, it varies.
Chicken, beef, lamb and pork are all used to varying degrees, depending on the country.
One things for sure.
Im yet to meet a Doner Kebab/Gyros or Shawarma that I havent loved!
In America, its the other way round Gyros is the common version.
Harder to find Doner Kebabs!
Nowadays, youll find both all around the world.
Last year, I had someamazingDoner Kebabs in the heart of Paris of all places!
1 kg / 2lb probably serves 8 people shaved meat goes further.
Maybe 6 if you stuff very generously.
