Gyro Pronto - Meat

To Serve

Method

Gyro Pronto - Meat

  1. 1

    Prepare gyro meat seasoning

    In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with minced onion, 2 cloves garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in olive oil to moisten the mixture and bring it together without overworking.

  2. 2

    Cook gyro meat

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Crumble the seasoned meat mixture into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice gyro meat

    Remove from heat and let the meat rest for 2-3 minutes. Break into smaller clumps and slice into thin strips or crumble finely for easy layering in the pita.

TZatziki & Toppings

  1. 4

    Make tzatziki

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (well-drained), minced tzatziki garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth. If using dill, fold in and season with black pepper to taste.

  2. 5

    Prepare toppings

    Slice tomatoes and red onion. Rinse and pat dry lettuce leaves. Set toppings aside for assembling the gyro.

To Serve & Assemble

  1. 6

    Warm pita

    Warm pita breads in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side, or wrap briefly in foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Assemble gyro

    Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki onto each pita. Layer with gyro meat strips, then add tomatoes, red onion, and lettuce. Fold or roll the pita and serve immediately while warm.
