Gyros Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Shape and Cook the Meat

    Shape the seasoned beef mixture into small patties or logs. Preheat a broiler or grill and cook the patties for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pita

    While the meat is cooking, warm the pita bread in a separate pan or oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    Place a cooked patty on each warm pita bread. Top with lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onions, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with tzatziki and/or hot & spicy BBQ sauce as desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fold the pita over the filling and serve immediately, garnished with extra sauce on the side if desired.
