Categories     Main Dish

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb. ground beef (lower the fat content the better)
½ large red onion (chopped)
2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
2 tsp Marjoram
2 tsp Rosemary
2 tsp Oregano
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Black Pepper
7 Pita Breads
7 Lettuce leaves
7 Tomato slices
4 Onion slices

Steps:

  • Place red onion in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
  • Remove the onion from the food processor and place in a tea towel, squeezing to remove all the juices.
  • Return the onion back to the food processor with the remaining ingredients and pulse for approximately 1 minute until you get a paste like consistency. TIP: The gyro beef mixture will form together in the food processor, similar to a ball of dough.
  • Place mixture in a glass baking dish. Flatten and smooth the meat into a nice meatloaf.
  • Place in a water bath and cook at 325°F for 60-75 minutes or you have an internal temp of 165°F-170°F.
  • Once removed from the oven, drain the fat.
  • Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and place on a wire rack (I also put a pan under the rack to catch any drippings) and place a heavy object on top to compress the gyros meat. I used a cast iron skillet with 3 cans inside the skillet for additional weight.
  • Remove the weight and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Slice the meat into desired sized slices.
  • Place meat slices on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes until crispy!
  • Serve in pita bread with lettuce, sliced onion, sliced tomato and this Authentic Greek Tzatziki Sauce.
  • Enjoy!

BEEF GYROS

Going out to restaurants got to be expensive for our family, so I came up with this homemade beef gyro. Usually, I set out the fixings so everyone can assemble their own. My husband and our two busy teens request them often. -Sheri Scheerhorn, Hills, Minnesota

TRADITIONAL GYRO MEAT



Traditional Gyro Meat image

This Greek/Lebanese style meatloaf is sliced and served with pita bread, tzatziki, and tomatoes for a delicious gyro that is the closest I've come to emulating my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. The preparation time seems long, but most of it is resting time, so you can be doing other stuff! You can substitute pork or chicken for the ground lamb and beef if you prefer.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Ground

Time 2h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ onion, cut into chunks
1 pound ground lamb
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon ground dried rosemary
1 teaspoon ground dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Place the onion in a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Scoop the onions onto the center of a towel, gather up the ends of the towel, and squeeze out the liquid from the onions. Place the onions into a mixing bowl along with the lamb and beef. Season with the garlic, oregano, cumin, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well with your hands until well combined. Cover, and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Place the meat mixture into the food processor, and pulse for about a minute until finely chopped and the mixture feels tacky. Pack the meat mixture into a 7x4 inch loaf pan, making sure there are no air pockets. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the loaf pan on the towel, inside the roasting pan, and place into the preheated oven. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the loaf pan.
  • Bake until the gyro meat is no longer pink in the center, and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) on a meat thermometer, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Pour off any accumulated fat, and allow to cool slightly before slicing thinly and serving.

GROUND BEEF GYROS



Ground Beef Gyros image

If your family likes gyros as much as mine, they'll love this easy version that's made with ground beef instead of lamb. I found the recipe in a newspaper and adapted it to fit our tastes. They're very much like the ones served at a local restaurant. A cucumber yogurt sauce adds an authentic finishing touch. -Ruth Stahl, Shepherd, Montana
