American Gyros Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Sandwich Recipes. (American Gyros Recipe). Authentic Greek gyros are made with pork and chicken, but I prefer this version. It uses the same spices but is made with ground lamb and/or beef. Plus it's perfect for making ahead of time and heating it when you make your gyros. Don't forget to make tzatziki!

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish. Line with parchment paper that extends up the sides. Turn the parchment paper over so the oiled side is up.

Step 2

Place ground lamb and beef in a mixing bowl. Add onions garlic rosemary oregano salt pepper cumin paprika cinnamon cayenne pepper and bread crumbs. Mix until well combined. Transfer to prepared baking dish and press the meat mixture firmly into the dish in an even layer that extends to the edges. Meat mixture should be packed and fairly dense.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven until nicely browned 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cool to room temperature. Transfer to a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled 1 to 2 hours.

Step 4

Transfer meat to a cutting board. Cut into 3 pieces crosswise. Slice each piece into 1/8-inch thick slices as you need them.

Step 5

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook slices until browned about 2 minutes per side.
