Gyros Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    With wet hands, form the meat mixture into oval-shaped patties or skewers, about 4 inches long.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meat

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until nicely browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Warm the Pita Bread

    While the meat is cooking, warm the pita bread in a separate pan or in the oven until soft and pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Gyros Plate

    On each plate, place a few pieces of the cooked meat, add slices of tomato, cucumber, and a handful of shredded lettuce. Serve with warm pita bread and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
