Greek Gyro Meat Recipe

Greek Gyro Meat Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1/2 cup very finely chopped (or shredded) onion
• 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
• 3/4 teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried ground marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon dried ground rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Mix everything together and let sit in the fridge for 1−2 hours.
2. Blend in a food processor for about 1 minute. (When cooked, this will help give it a more traditional gyro feel on your palate. Otherwise, it just takes like cooked minced meat.)
3. Form into an oblong around a spit, and slow cook over a grill for around 30−45 minutes, cooking far from the coals, and rotating slowly. 
4. Alternatively, bake in the oven in a meatloaf shape for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, at 325 degrees F. It should be a bit dry.
