Method

Prepare the Gyro Meat

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the gyro meat and mix well to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Gyro Meat

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated gyro meat for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and browned. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Colossal Gyro

  2. 4

    Add Feta and Sauce

    Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top and drizzle tzatziki sauce generously on each assembled gyro.
