Traditional Lamb And Beef Gyro

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground lamb
• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely grated and drained
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried marjoram
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 rounds Pita bread
• 1 cup Tzatziki sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the lamb, beef, salt, and spices in a food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a very fine, tacky paste.

2. 2

   Add the grated onion and garlic, then process for another 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and emulsified.

3. 3

   Pack the meat mixture tightly into a greased loaf pan, ensuring there are no air pockets.

4. 4

   Bake at 325°F (165°C) in a water bath for 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

5. 5

   Remove from the oven, drain any excess fat, and place a heavy weight on top of the meat for 15 minutes to compress it.

6. 6

   Once cooled slightly, remove the meat loaf from the pan and slice it into very thin strips.

7. 7

   Sear the thin slices in a hot skillet with a teaspoon of oil until the edges are crispy and browned.

8. 8

   Serve the meat inside warm pita bread with tzatziki, sliced tomatoes, and red onions.
