Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add the Meat

    Cut the lamb or beef into thin strips and add to the marinade. Ensure the meat is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meat

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated meat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Wrap Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet for a minute on each side until soft and pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Gyros

    On each warm pita, layer the cooked meat, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and shredded lettuce. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Fold the pita around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade gyros!
