Tips

  • Ensure onion and garlic are pureed nice and fine.
  • Process the meat mixture until it becomes a paste, not like a hamburger.
  • Cool the cooked gyro meat completely in the fridge for easier slicing.
  • Crisp up the sliced gyro meat in a hot pan with oil until golden brown.
  • You can use ground lamb, lamb and beef, lamb and pork, chicken, or any other meat you want.
  • If using other meats, you can omit the bacon, just make sure the meat has enough fat.
