Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine the Meats

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef. Use your hands to mix thoroughly until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add the Spices

    Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the meat mixture. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Form the Patties

    Shape the meat mixture into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You can make about 8 patties from the mixture.

  2. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Add the patties to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.

  4. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet for about 1-2 minutes until soft.

  2. 8

    Serve with Tzatziki

    Serve the gyro meat patties with warm pita bread and a generous serving of tzatziki sauce on the side. Enjoy!
