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

Provided by Rachel Riesgraf

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, ground thyme, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 pitas
Optional toppings: lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, fresh dill and feta cheese
3/4 cup greek yogurt
3/4 cup grated cucumber ((I like to use an English cucumber))
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium-high heat and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the seasonings and 1/2 cup of water. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce has thickened around the meat, about 5 minutes.

HOMEMADE GREEK-AMERICAN STYLE GYRO MEAT



Homemade Greek-American Style Gyro Meat image

Make this classic restaurant-style gyro meat at home. Gyros are the most popular Greek sandwich and it is very easy to make. In Greece, layers of meat are roasted on a spit then sliced and served in a pita with tzatziki sauce. The Greek-American version is made with thinly sliced meatloaf made with beef and lamb. Follow this recipe and make a few extra batches for those busy weeknights.

Provided by Dimitra Khan

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium onion, quartered
1 pound ground lamb
1 pound ground beef
4-5 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
9 x 5 inch loaf pan
Pita bread
Onion slices
Tomato slices
Tzaztiki Sauce
Lettuce
Crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, 163 degrees Celsius.
  • Place the garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.
  • Add onion and puree until smooth.
  • Add ground meat 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 till 1 hour.
  • 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!​

  • Place the yogurt in a tea towel, gather up the edges, suspend over a bowl, and drain for 2 hours in the refrigerator. Greek yogurt will not let out much excess liquid, but if using regular yogurt, this step will be more necessary than with Greek yogurt.
  • Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and on plastic wrap or foil. Roll the mixture tightly, removing any air pockets. Twist the ends of the wrap until the wrap is tight. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight), to allow the mixture to firm up enough to cook on the spit.Alternatively, you could cook wrapped in the foil long enough for the mixture to tighten up, but this method is not ideal.
