Gyro Meat

Method

Prepare Gyro Meat

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb or beef, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape and Cook

    Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the meat for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and browned on all sides. Alternatively, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice Meat

    Once cooked, let the gyro meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Assemble Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare Base

    In a large serving bowl, lay down a base of cooked French fries.

  2. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Top the fries with diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and the sliced gyro meat.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the salad.

  4. 7

    Serve with Pita

    Arrange the pita wedges around the salad for dipping or garnish.
