This is helpful. Its really just a meat paste cooked as a loaf. My favorite food in the entire world right now is a gyro with spicy hummus spread. Better than any cheeseburger.
Great recipe. Try to use a food processor next time if you can. If you slap the meat down a few times on a cutting board, it gets the air out! It's also better to make the night before and cut it when it's well chilled, you can cut nice thin slices easier. Plus the flavor has had time to bloom. Just passing on advice from a Greek friend!!! ❤❤✌🏼❤❤
@@andrewh3684Refridgerate after you cook it, overnight. It’s really easy to cut nice uniform slices. Let slices sit out for a few then you can toss it in a hot pan w a little oil and YUM!!!!!
This is very helpful, thank you! I was looking for a way to make gyro lamb meat without a rotisserie. Could you use just lamb or does it need to be 50/50?
Why do you bury you recipe at the bottom of the page on your website, underneath all that useless information and ads? It's a very frustrating, I don't want to read an article about the history of gyro meat I just want to learn how to cook it- so frustrating.
There’s a “jump to recipe” button at the top. Also, in order to pay for the FREE recipes I’m providing you, I have to give what you refer to as “useless information.” I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Onions and garlic should have gone through the blender first, the consistency of this was more like a meatloaf, and it was very bland. Didn't taste like any Gyro meat I've ever had. ☹
@@RazzleDazzleLife I did and still Gyro meat does not contain big chunks of onion or garlic, And you used no binder, The meat was never compressed. I was forwarded a link to this video knowing what the outcome would be. I have been making Gyro meat for a restaurant for over 30 years, yes I'm a butcher. I'm glad you like what you made. "Didn't taste like I wanted" yours does not taste like Gyro meat. Sorry I know I sound mean but I am just very blunt.
@@beaverc2884Gyro meat always needs more seasoning than you think. A tip is to take a small piece and microwave it and try it, if it's bland so is the rest so add more seasoning. Then you won't mess up your entire batch. As for the consistency, you can add bread crumbs and just knead it so the meat homogenizes. Sometimes you need to take initiative to achieve the result you want and not rely solely on the recipe for making it a success, she gave you the guidelines.
Damn. There’s a couple helpful comments that I appreciate here but the rest were just rude. If you see something that you think should be changed to suit your taste, go right ahead and do it but maybe try to explain the difference instead of just insulting the person trying to share what works for them…. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
@@flatsixfun2008 again, gyros is not made with minced meat. It is mainly pork or chicken (I have seen beef ss well) meat, it the form of filets, on a long vertical spit. In which region of Greece you have seen gyros made with minced meat?

Sounds amazing!!

Thank you for the pointers!
Is the refrigeration step before or after cooking?

Wow!!! Today is the day. 👍🏽🔥 Thank you
Enjoy!
Made this. Came out delicious!!!!
I love to hear that! Glad you enjoyed it
This came out great! Easily my top 5 favorite meal long live the mighty gyro!
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You should've refrigerated the meat and then cut it to prevent the meat from crumbling.
I did! Def should pack it down a little more to prevent air bubble!
It’s so delicious once it’s fried up!
The seasonings are very nice your method not so much let it cool overnight or 3 hours at least
Thanks

I’m glad it helped you! I haven’t tried the recipe with just lamb, but I think it would work just fine!
Thank you
You're welcome
Can anybody say meatloaf ?
Jack in the box has or had a Greek gyro
but I think you won 😊
Thanks tam,
You’re welcome!
Should have sharpened the knife or refrigerated before slicing.
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
How do you get all the meat mess off the Ninja when you are done?
Soak it for a bit in soap and water, wash it by hand, and sanitize in the dishwasher.

Why should I use gloves if I wash my hands

Did you watch the part where I put the meat mixture through the food processor!?! Sorry your adaptation didn’t taste like you wanted 🥲

No egg?
not processed enough...meatloaf
Just right!
Mine has way too much cumin. I think I screwed it up. Simple recipe. Should have been easy.
Oh dang… must have added a bit too much 😕

Hahaha!! I appreciate this comment though! I’ve learned over the years that there are A A LOT of internet chefs!! Lmao! Enjoy girl! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
That’s just gyros flavored meatloaf
Yummmmm
That is a good looking meatloaf sandwich. But it's really not a Gyro.
Delicious gyro meat!
It's how gyro meat is assembled 🥰
Who gives a shit, looks bloody yummy to me😂😂👍
she has no clue what she's talking about.
I decided to cook gyros today and this video had me on some ish…😂😂 it’s a lot of dirty talking in here😂 but thanks
Lol! The “keyboard chefs” always make me laugh! Glad you enjoyed!
This ain't Gyros. Gyros is pieces of meat, steak like, on a spit (souvla) that has to be roasted, while turning around.
Ok
Well, a traditional Gyro is Lamb and Beef combined. I have never seen a lamb mate with a cow, so of course it's minced.
gyros is not minced

@@kleanthis362every gyro in America is made with minced meat. You have no clue what ur talking about.
Your knife is very dull
It’s actually very sharp!
