Gyros Ingredients

Method

Gyros Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the meat and coat it well. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Gyros

    Warm the pita or Greek bread in a dry pan for a minute. Layer the sliced meat, followed by tomato, onion, lettuce, and pickles. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fold the pita over the filling, serve warm, and enjoy your homemade gyros!
