Notes

  • Marinate the lamb for 30 mins and up to 24 hours if you’re preparing ahead of time.
  • Make sure to try Cosette’s Kitchen Toum or garlic paste recipe for marinating and for the Tzatziki Sauce. If you’re rushed, use regular minced garlic.
  • If you access to an outdoor grill, it’s optimal to BBQ the lamb. However you can pan sear it as well or grill it indoor.
  • Depending on how well you want the lamb to be done, your lamb sirloin may take anywhere from 7-10 minutes per side while covering the BBQ lid in between.
  • Always wait a few minutes (2-3minutes) before slicing the sirloin.
  • Prepare the Tzatziki up to 3 days ahead of time if you wish.
  • Make sure to squeeze dry any moisture out of the cucumber for the Tzatziki sauce.
  • For the bread, use a thick Pita bread —which is most authentic. However a naan bread also works as it’s similar to a Greek flat bread.
  • Assemble the gyro sandwiches before serving.
