Ingredients:
- 1 pound Ground Beef (85% lean or leaner)
- 1/2 small onion, quartered
- 1/4 cup Greek-style yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground sumac
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 4 naan or pita flatbreads (about 8-inch diameter)
Creamy Yogurt Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sumac
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- Lettuce leaves, pepperoncini, feta cheese, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and sliced red onion (optional)
Cooking:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place onion, yogurt, olive oil, garlic, salt, Greek seasoning, tomato paste, black pepper, sumac, cloves and cayenne pepper in food processor bowl. Pulse on and off into a smooth paste; transfer onion mixture to large bowl.
-
Combine Ground Beef and onion mixture. Stir in parsley; mix lightly but thoroughly. (Do not overmix).
-
Divide beef mixture into four sections. Place one section between two sheets of parchment paper (about 12x17-inch in size); roll or spread mixture as thin as possible (about 1/4-inch thick). Roll sheet into a tight log and place on large shallow sheet pan.
Cook's Tip: Use a rolling pin to help evenly roll out beef as thinly as possible. -
Bake 25 minutes; let stand 3 to 5 minutes. Unwrap and discard parchment paper.
Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness. -
Meanwhile, prepare yogurt sauce. Place yogurt, lemon juice, jalapeno, olive oil, parsley, sumac and salt in food processor bowl. Pulse on and off 10 to 15 seconds or until smooth. Set aside.
-
Divide beef evenly among flatbreads. Top with toppings, as desired. Serve with yogurt sauce.
