Method

Preparing the Meat

  1. 1

    Mix the Meats

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meat mixture and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

Making the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber and use a clean cloth or paper towel to squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 4

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Assembling the Plate

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the tomato and thinly slice the red onion. Shred the lettuce.

  2. 6

    Warm the Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Gyro Plate

    On each plate, place a portion of the cooked meat, a dollop of tzatziki sauce, and a handful of the prepared vegetables. Serve with warm pita on the side.
