I have never had or seen it with mint, and I've eaten a lot tzatziki in the U..S and in Greece Typically it's made with a little fresh dill.
I use both. And a lot of garlic.
This is not gyros this is turkish doner..to make gyro you put slises of Meat one up on the other and u make a tower and as it turns it bakes and it become crispy and juicy. Its called gyros because in greek gyros (yiros) means turn .. Also to make tzatziki u first drain the cucamber and then u add it i to the yogurt.. Also u put a lot more olive oil and paper.. U dont drain the final product
Thank you ... these hamburger concoctions have nothing to do w/gyro 🤷♀️ Dimitra Kazakou describes the authentic gyro and if you’ve had one, you know the difference immediately
This ground meat style is what the Greek gyro places sell in the tri state area. Commercially they. Come as a shaped and frozen block of meat. It is put on a vertical spit and broiled. The cook then slice the Cooked meat off and makes a sandwich.
Nothing like they used to do in New York and, I’m sure, Greece.
I'm a Greek from Chicago my friends and it's a good attempt from Xeno. Lighten up.
...but none of these dudes know the awesome-ness of....souvlaki.
Too much mint in the souvlaki. Too-soo!
Βγάλτε το σκασμό ρε μαλακισμένα μία χαρά το έχει κάνει ο άνθρωπος αμέσως να βγάλετε την κακια σας ηλίθιοι!!!
@@pdk213 born n raised in Chicago Northside, had gyros from the lil joints all way to the greeks, could and have ate them all day
Looked amazing buddy! Using the pan was a brilliant idea!
You do yours similar to mine. For the tzatziki sauce, I find it easier to strain the onion and cucumber separately and buy pre-strained greek yogurt instead of mixing it all first then straining.
Great job Chris! Looked like the real deal!
Really liked the pie pan heat deflector idea. The gyro looked really good and gave me an idea how to use the same technique for a shawarma. Thanks
The meat cooking idea is genius. I'll definitely file this PBC cooking idea for future use. The gyros looked really good Chris. Thanks.
I squeezed the cucumber separately like you did the Onion. And used Greek yogurt. Looks great BTW
Patrick Farrell yes I agree. I always squeeze my cucumber separate after letting it sit in a little salt first to draw out the moisture.
Dimetries
Remove the seeds too, they're unneeded extra moisture. And use the tomato side of a grater instead of a knife, it's faster and produces consistent thin slices of cucumber. ;)
Bravo! This is a classic around Toronto I grew up eating.
Looks like a Yummy sandwich..🍘......
This was outstanding!
Really simple an easy way to make gyros in pitabread.
Cheers
That’s my favorite food I love gyro it looks delicious
Very well done! Looks delicious. I love Gyros...........
Oh my!! I definitely need to try making a homemade gyro. It looked so delicious. Never knew about draining the sauce before. Thanks for sharing😃
Thanks Christy
Looks excellent. Gyros are a favorite around here!
Looks delicious
Well done Mate i'll give that a try...awesome as always
Good job, authentic. Thanks.
Thank you
That looks delicious
Man, that looks fantastic. When I visited Greece in the 70's, I fell in love with the gyros. The meat would come to the gyro stands in metal containers soaking in some sort of juice. The meat shaved off looked just like what you did there. I always thought it was a hunk of lamb. Didn't know it was a processed meat until now.
No mate sorry to crush your dreams but traditional gyros is made with fillets of meat stacked one on top of the other this video actually shows you how to make doner
That was the cheaper version you tried, most grills used it to increase profit at the time, and it was made similar to german-style doner. It was banned for a while after a series of food poisonings (hygiene standards weren't the best at the time, and few followed them).
Love the homemade cookware
Great gyro Chris thanks for sharing
Welcome and thanks for watching
Man that looked good!!! Haven't had one of those in a long time.
i love gyros
cool idea to cook gyros
Great video! well done
Great job Chris!
Thanks brother
This is brilliant.
love greek food. well done
Thanks for watching
Awesome Idea. Dont you just love that Pit Barrel.
The only thing that need to drain is the cucumber at the beginning not the tzatziki!
He messed up I agree should have just drained the cukes
Very nice one Chris. Thank you for sharing! Might not be the first cook on my UDS but its definitely something i would like to giva a try :)
Love ground Lamb :) Had it in my meatballsvideo this sunday. Was totalyy awesome taste :)
I love gyros mmmmm looks so good
Awesome job man that looks great that's an awesome idea to cook that meat like that is pretty inventive for the smoker cheers bud
Thanks for watching
I'm Greek and I would NEVER drain anything!!
great cook Chris.... the gyro turned out awesome! ... my skewers are in transit... will be here tomorrow : )
Thank you 😊
Looks awesome, Chris. I love me some good Gyros
How you doing Mr.Russ?
Yummy
I always drain my yogurt a daughter or two so it's almost like cream cheese. I also grate, salt, and drain the cucumber. I prefer dill instead of mint and lemon juice for the acid.
Love Tzatziki sauce! Any excuse to eat this sauce! #TheSandwichStory #Πώςφτιάχνουμετζατζίκι
From the D (burbs) but since I don't have a flank of lamb to put on a spit, this looks like a great alternative.
Great video-going to make a hanging deflector skewer plate once I win a pit barrel..now onto watch your Teriyaki rib video.
Can you Please show us how to make one of those Scues that your using there,?
Man I really like what u did for the kebab I was thinking about using a turkey fryer rack for the meat and hang it in my barrel smoker I would also like to see a video on making a beef or chicken doner kebab
“Alright, let’s give this a try” after there’s obviously already been a bite taken out of the sandwich.
SMELL GREECE 🇬🇷🇬🇷🔥🔥❤
Suggestion- cleaner and easier to salt the veges and drain in the sink, we like lamb shoulder for our gyros (pulled pork) but that looks cool on the PBC.doing a bone in lamb shoulder on my PBC today. Don`t forget the FETA cheese!
You forgot the feta lol. Best recipe I've seen so far though!
And that's why they fall apart.
You gotta layer the sauce to hold the ingredients together
How long did you cook it?
I Like it when people make a video how to do it, but they don't tell you how much ingredients to put in it. You can't make gyro without oregano!
The amounts are in the description
What size skewer did you use?
Ok so how do you keep it from being dry? It look dry and not just at all
Great idea, I wonder if you could do tacos al pastor with the same hanging method?
Thanks
Chris - Could you do this on a pellet grill?
Have you got a good recipe for pitta bread?
I think the white sauce is better with dill instead of mint n my opinion,but a great video
More seasonings please .looks good though
I like gyros but don’t know why the need of strain the juices of the condiments, to me it’s good to add the juices to the already dry meet. Plus you get the vitamins and flavor of the cucumber and onion. Carne azada and salsa tacos
I bet this guys laundry room smells better than his kitchen
Probably will try baking it in the oven instead.
Looks good. Making the sauce just drain the cucumber not the sauce and also grate the cucumbers.
use a salad spinner to extra the moisture of the chopped onions its easier man
No lettuce on traditional gyros
Great video as always!!! Hit that subscribe button everyone. Thanks Chris for sharing!!
Looks great but you drained that sauce too much, that's the dryest most solid tzatziki sauce ive ever seen, everything else was spot on
I might end up roasting it in a loaf pan on a charcoal grill.
A passable attempt... however I believe gyro meat is a mixture of beef and lamb, and you are supposed to cut around the loaf to get only the crusty parts. I also don't recall ever getting lettuce in a gyro - just onion and tomato, and you use flat bread not pita bread... aside from not actually being a gyro it is perfect.
This is how a restaurant in my area makes it. But I am sure there are variations. I am no professional. Lol
@@jeannieheard1465 everyone does gyros different. It is the hamburger of the middle east.
By all means send me a dozen right away!👍
Well if I was to make ,a gyro,that's how I would make it ,steak sour cream ,onions,green peppers,swiss cheese,,a little ,of mild sauce
Awesome Idea with the Pie pan for those of us who do not own household vertical rotisseries ( if they exist) ! Great Video !
Thank you
Why did you strain your sauce
The meat looks like Road Kill.
This is not a gyros .this is kebap.
Alex from greece
Gyros is not made of minced meat. Some sell it so they can reduce the cost. But you should try a real gyros
Can you do it on a rotisserie spit
It looks dry sauce looks too thick. I'm sure it taste great. I would leave the mint think it would take away from the cucumber.
Damn squeeze some lemon on it dude
I can't believe you're using crushed garlic out of a jar.
Add dill to your Tzaziki sauce instead of mint. You're welcome...
Προτα στραγγίζεις το γιαούρτι .και μετά κανης το τσαζικη 😀
Alexandra Sidiropoulos that's right ,
i m sure u are aware this is not greek gyro, but u wanted to present it as greek.
Whoever comes to greece will understand what i m talking about.
edit: we dont even eat lamb gyro....
There is just something missing! I’m not exactly sure! It doesn’t have that taste from my favorite place! Close but no cigar!
feta is missing for one...………...
Kurt Simmons other recipes call for cumin
Destroyed it. Sorry to say. Good thought though. Everyone has a pallet for taste. It would be better if you used a lamb roast that way. Gyro meat is 80/20beef n lamb.
Question: I'm not a lamb fan plus I can't get it locally where I live. Any idea how this would turn out if I used beef only. Maybe 20% pork if it needs the moisture. Thanks for any advice you have.
Where's the feta cheese
I'm glad you made that for yourself because you didn't wash your hands after you lick your finger
Don't be cheap with the meat. mate :)
Lol. Ok
Also don’t forget the Pit Barrel Cooker is manufactured in China- not the United States. If that is relevant here.
2:41 fleshlight lookin ass
No thats not it 😢 It needs feta cheese😁😁😁
Both of these Turkish foods. Do research please.
Ok
This is not how you make tzatziki you need to get all the water out of the cucmber tezeke, has to be kinda liqiudy and thic not creamy. Amd the gyro is wrong
Dude not even close! That's not Greek!
Gross use cheese cloth...awesome recipe
So that was your attempt at making gyros? I'm sure it tasted good but it was not an authentic gyro.I cringed when you were squeezing the tzatziki instead of the cucumbers. With that said we'll give you an A for effort but please don't squeeze the tzatziki.
This is not gyro. Please don’t embarrass yourself
man,this in not gyros...not even close,dont do this to traditional foods ffs
