Gyros
- 1 lb beef, ground
- 1 lb lamb, ground
- 6 ounces pork sausage (plain or sage. Bacon, fine dice or ground will work)
- 1/2 cup onion, fine dice
- Spices
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- Optional Spices
- 1 teaspoon marjoram
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Sauce
- tzatziki, sauce Cucumber Tzatziki (or a tzatziki sauce you like)
- Pita
- pita bread, Arabian Pita Bread (or a recipe you like, storebought if you must)
- If you bought unground lamb, it is better if you grind it before you continue and not go straight to the food processor.
- Place the onion and garlic in the food processor and process until tiny, it will be spun on the side walls of the containter.
- Add the meat, spices and any optional spices you prefer.
- Process until very well blended.
- Place in the fridge for a couple hours (or up to 24 hours). This developes the flavors.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
- Use a roasting pan or foil lined baking sheet. Form a 5 inch wide 1.5 inch tall and as long as it goes loaf on the pan.
- Bake until cooked through. Internal temp will be 160u0b0F It will take 30-45 minutes.
- Alternatively you can sous vide the meat at 165F for at least 2 hours. The nice thing about this choice is that it will hold for as long as you need it to at that temperature.
- In the mean time you have made your Tzatziki sauce and Pita bread.
- When ready to serve slice the loaf as thin as possible. Place it under the broiler for just a few minutes. Enough time to heat it through and brown the edges.
- Place the meat in a pita.
- Add Tzatziki sauce.
- Optionally you can add cucumbers, tomatoes, calamata olives, feta, onions and/or greek peppers.
- Time does not include refrigeration time.
- Enjoy!.
