Gyro Ingredients

Method

Gyro Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a bowl, combine ground lamb or beef, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let sit for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Form the meat mixture into patties and cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Gyros

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave. Place cooked meat on the pita, add sliced tomatoes, red onion, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce. Wrap the pita around the filling.
