Method

Prepare Gyro Meat

  1. 1

    Shape and Cook

    Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape or press into a loaf pan. Brush the top with olive oil. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

    Slice the Meat

    Once cooked, let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly for serving.

Prepare Vegetables

    While the meat is baking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds. Shred the lettuce and set aside.

Prepare Pita Bread

    Warm the Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.
