Gyro Meat

I admit I had been dubious about this recipe - so few ingredients! But hot damn it worked! And may I say how very delish it was too. The only change I made was to double the garlic as I do in every recipe - you never know when a vampire infestation will take place in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and you can never be too careful! Thanks for a great recipe, served with home made pita, feta and salad - yummo!

Excellent flavor! And so easy (once I found a butcher with ground lamb)!

DELICIOUS!!! Made it with half ground pork/half ground beef.. I was so impressed! Best with homemade pita bread (I added oregano and garlic right to the dough) http://www.recipezaar.com/81116 and homemade Tzatziki-- http://www.recipezaar.com/39419 . Enjoy!!! I am making it again tonight.. my family can't wait!!

This is one of those recipes that I really find exciting! Probably because I start out feeling skeptical about making it... I don't know what I was expecting, maybe that it would taste like meatballs or an Italian meatloaf or something. Plus I was using all beef. Well I'll be a Greek chef if it didn't start smelling EXACTLY like gyros as it broiled away in the oven! I could hardly wait to slice them up! I made them precisely as stated in the recipe, but I did broil them longer as my patties were thicker.I also flipped them halfway through so that both sides would brown nicely. Shaye, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed these with homemade Tzatziki, thinly sliced tomatoes, and crumbled Feta cheese on warmed pita bread. I'll be making these VERY often, and next time will probably try the 1/2 beef 1/2 lamb combination for even more authentic Greek flavor. Thank you so much for a fabulous dinner last evening that is still being talked about today!

This was fantastic! I used .85 pound ground lamb & 1 pound ground beef, so I doubled all the spices. Formed into 3 huge patties, broiled, let rest & sliced thinly. Served with homemade pitas & tzatziki. We really enjoyed this--thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

I was surprised how much this tasted like 'real' gyros that you buy -- only without the scary mystery meat feeling that I sometimes get with eating them out! It was really good. I used ground pork and made TZATZIKI cucumber dipping sauce (#83189). Thank you Shaye for this recipe!

I just love this. I make it with pork medallions, but the idea is the same. It has a light wonderful taste. I look forward to the nights this is on the menu!!

This is delicious,very simple to prepare, and tasted just like real gyro meat you can buy at a gyro stand. I the used ground lamb and the full amount of garlic & pepper and found it to be perfectly seasoned. Thanks for this quick & tasty recipe.

I don't care for the taste of lamb but the rest of my family likes to eat gyros. I tried this recipe using canarygirls idea of 1/2 lamb and l/2 beef and even I liked it. I will make this again.

This was just way too good, Shaye!!! I used half lamb and half beef, and I liked the resulting mixture. I also allowed the meat mixture to sit for about a half an hour before broiling. The seasonings were perfect! I can see that this is going to be a new favorite at our house! Thanks for a great recipe, Shaye! :)
