Gyro Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large bowl, mix together the ground lamb or beef, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into patties or a loaf shape.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties or loaf for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pita

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyro

    Slice the cooked meat and place it inside the warm pita bread. Top with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the gyro immediately, with additional tzatziki on the side if desired.
