Method

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Warm passata with tomato paste, paprika, salt and half the butter; simmer 10 minutes.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Toast pita, cut into bite-sized pieces and divide among four warm plates.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Grill tomatoes and peppers until tender and lightly charred.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Heat olive oil in a very hot pan and sear beef in small batches for 2–3 minutes until cooked. This uses sliced beef rather than a vertical doner spit.

  5. 05

    Step 5

    Top bread with beef and tomato sauce. Melt remaining butter until foaming and spoon over; serve yogurt and grilled vegetables alongside.
