Method
Directions for Lamb Gyro
- 1
Prepare the Lamb
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb shoulder and rub the marinade all over the meat. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator for best results).

Cook the Lamb
Preheat your grill or oven to 200°C (400°F). Cook the marinated lamb for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is cooked through and has a nice char. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly.
