Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tzatziki

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Grill the Meats

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb chops, pork souvlaki, gyro, Greek sausage, and bifteki until they are cooked to your liking, about 4-5 minutes per side for the chops and souvlaki, and 6-8 minutes for the sausages and bifteki.

  2. 4

    Cook the Fries

    Fry or bake the fries according to the package instructions or until golden and crispy.
