Easy Homemade Stove Top Beef Geseh or Doner Kebab
Geseh or Doner Kebab is one of Turkish popular dish. It is a thin slice cut of meat, stacked in a coned shape and roasted slowly in vertical turning rotisserie. It is similar to Arab shawarma or Greek gyro.
Lamb and goat meat were the original meat for Doner Kebab . Now it can be made with turkey, beef, chicken and other. You shaved off thin slices of the cooked surface as the meat load continuously rotates.
I love eating that popular street food. Fortunately, you can reproduce the taste, texture, flavor without the original rotisserie tool.
The below recipe is one of the quickest ways to make your shawarma in the comfort of your home.
The only hard part was when slicing the frozen meat thinly. It helps to take it out of the freezer 40min before start slicing.
Because I am low carb, I did not need pita bread or any flat bread to eat this Doner kebab. You can eat this in a wrap sandwich with naan bread, or replace it with tortilla or just your salad. A delicious ranch sauce is also very important as topping. My favorite dairy free ranch dressing was more than enough. But below you will see the recipe of my favorite Doner kebab ranch dressing topping.
