Method

Lamb Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Place the lamb shoulder in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Tzatziki Sauce Preparation

  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 Tzatziki Sauce

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cooking and Assembling

  1. 5

    Cook the Lamb

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and grill for about 15-20 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the lamb is resting, wash and slice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Gyros

    Warm the pita bread on the grill or in a pan. Place a few slices of lamb on each pita, add lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
