Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef lean
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp oregano dried
- 2 tsp cumin
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Gyros toppings
- 2-4 Pita bread pockets
- Gyro Meat sliced
- red onion ¼, chopped
- tomato 1, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- tzatziki (make our tzatziki)
- 1-2 cups French Fries 1-2 cups, cooked, optional
Instructions
Make the gyro meat
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Add all gyro meat ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix the meat mixture together on medium speed for about 5-7 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and tacky / pasty.
- Place the meat into the loaf pan and use a spatula or flipper to gently press down on the meat, trying to get the air pockets out. Place the loaf pan onto a baking sheet to prevent from any splatter in the oven.
- Bake for 60 minutes, until gyro meat is no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Remove any excess grease into your compost lined with paper towel.
- Thinly slice the meat and serve immediately or if desired, saute in a hot pan with a bit of oil until golden brown and crispy.
Make gyros
- If using, cook the fries according to package directions. When the fries are done cooking, toss with a drizzle of olive oil and big pinches of garlic powder, salt, pepper and dried oregano. Set aside.
- Assemble the gyros - **if using a small pita snip the top and stuff / if using a larger pita cut in half and stuff**
- Fill the pita pockets with tzatziki, fries, gyro meat, onions, tomatoes and feta cheese.
