Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the mixture into oval-shaped patties or kofta. You can also shape them into long cylindrical shapes if you prefer.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meat

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until soft and pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Gyro

    Place the cooked meat patties in the warm pita bread. Top with sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
