Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the meat mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground lamb, minced garlic, chopped onion, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the meat

    Shape the mixture into a large loaf or mold it onto a vertical rotisserie if available. Ensure it's tightly packed for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the meat

    Brush the meat with olive oil and cook it on a vertical rotisserie or in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  4. 4

    Slice the meat

    Once cooked, slice the meat thinly while it is still hot.

  5. 5

    Assemble the gyros

    Warm the pita bread. Layer the sliced meat on the pita, add fresh vegetables, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.
