Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb or beef and mix well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and grill or roast until cooked to your desired doneness, about 10-15 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread on the grill or in a dry skillet for a minute on each side until soft.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyro

    Place the sliced meat onto the pita bread and top with fresh vegetables. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and fold the pita to enclose the filling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the gyro warm, with extra tzatziki sauce on the side if desired.
