Gyro Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Meat

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb or beef, coating it well. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Cook the Meat

   Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated meat for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and slightly charred. Allow it to rest before slicing.

3. 3

   Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

   In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.

4. 4

   Assemble the Gyro

   Slice the cooked meat thinly. Warm the pita bread slightly. Layer the sliced meat on the pita, add diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and top with tzatziki sauce. Roll or fold the pita to serve.
