The Ultimate Greek American Gyros

Print this recipe here:
Serves 6:
1 medium onion, quartered
1-pound ground lamb
1-pound ground beef
5 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons salt
1 heaping teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
1 heaping teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Equipment: 9 x 5-inch loaf pan
For the Sandwiches:
Pita bread
Onion slices
Tomato slices
Tzatziki Sauce
Lettuce
Crumbled feta cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 °F, 160 °C.
Place the garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.
Add onion and puree until smooth.
Add ground beef with all of the spices. Pulse until the mixture becomes like a paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl in between pulses.
Place the mixture in a loaf pan. Compact it as much as possible.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the internal temperature registers 165 °F.
Allow the pan to cool at room temperature completely. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before removing from the pan.
Remove from pan onto a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice it thinly. Pour all of the pan juices over the slices along with any of the fat that has gelatinized. It adds so much flavor when heating it up for the sandwiches.
At this point, the gyro slices can be placed in a freezer-safe bag and frozen for future use.
To make the Gyro sandwiches, place a cast iron pan over medium heat and cook the gyro slices until they are browned on both sides.
Warm the pita bread slightly. Place some chopped lettuce, onion and tomato slices over the pita, the warm gyro slices and tzatziki sauce with crumbled feta. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
NOTES
Freezer Instructions: Place the cooked gyro slices in a freezer bag or an airtight (freezer-safe) container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to use thaw and pan fry until golden.

Wagyu Beef Gyro
Gyros are Greek sandwiches (if you can even call them that) typically made from lamb, beef, or even chicken. Biting into a gyro is an experience like no other. The variety of textures, temperatures, and flavors is unmatched. But why hasn't anybody ever made a gyro using wagyu beef? My good friend @thegoldenbalance and I carefully considered this question and wholeheartedly agreed: we had to give it a try.
Now, you know me pretty well at this point. And this means you probably have a good understanding of my love for rotisserie chickens. The great part about gyros is that the meat is cooked on a vertical rotisserie, so this provided the perfect opportunity for me to get one of those machines. And that's exactly what we did.
Gyro:
Wagyu beef strips
Paprika
Oregano
Chili powder
Thyme
Cumin
Celery salt
Minced onion
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Bread:
2 2/3 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
10 oz lukewarm water
1.5 packets active dry yeast
2 tbsp olive oil

1 medium cucumber (peeled)
2 cups Greek yogurt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 clove minced garlic
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh dill
