Beef

  1. Preheat MP5 temperature probe to 425°F/220°C.
  2. Pat beef dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and lemon juice; stir to blend and set aside.
  4. When temperature reaches 425°F/220°C, add beef. Stir until browned on all sides, approximately 7 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid – can remove with kitchen baster, if desired.
  5. Reduce temperature to 170°F/75°C. Place onions in MP5 and pour in olive oil mixture. Stir to coat.
  6. Cover and cook for approximately 6 hours or until beef is extremely tender.
  7. Serve beef over pita folds with Tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and lettuce.
Tips: 
  • Meat will tenderize with cooking. If you check and it is not tender, it’s not done.
