Easy Homemade Gyro Meat
This Easy Homemade Gyro Meat is one of my most popular family dinner recipes! Ready in about 15 minutes, this gyro meat is baked in the oven and perfect on pita or naan.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2-1 cup onion, grated
- 1 1/2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to combine everything.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper out on the counter. Put a scoop of the meat mixture in the center of the parchment paper. Spread the mixture out a little with your hands and then top with another piece of parchment. Use a rolling pin to roll the meat mixture out between the sheets of parchment until it is spread to all sides. Pull the top paper off and starting with the shorter end, roll the meat and parchment into a roll.
- Do this with all of the meat so you end up with 4 or 5 rolled pieces.
- Cook at 400 for 10 minutes.
- When ready, unroll each parchment and shred the meat. Serve on naan or pita with tomatoes, lettuce, onion slices, and tzatziki.
