Gyro Meat Recipe

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound Lean Ground Beef

1 pound ground pork (or ground lamb)

1 Red Onion. chopped (rough chopped)

6 cloves Garlic

2 teaspoons Ground Marjoram

2 teaspoons dried rosemary

2 teaspoons Dried Oregano

2 teaspoons Kosher Salt

2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper

Directions

Place onions, garlic into a large food processor and process until finely chopped but not liquefied.

Add meat and all the seasonings and grind for another 3-5 minutes. Do not skip this step. If you do, it will be like ground beef with some weird seasonings in it. Grind it until it's a big, huge, sticky mess that you wonder how you will ever clean up.

Since writing this recipe I've discovered a faster way to do this, which is to use your stand mixer with the paddle. Paddle the living daylights out of the meat with the spices until it's a sticky mess. This is a lot easier to clean up than a blender, and the end result is the same. So use whatever you have that works for you.

Put into a foil pan, and smooth out the top, and bake at 350 for 60 mins, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 175-180

Take it out of the oven and drain all the fat.

Cover it with foil and then place something heavy on it to compress it. I put a cast iron skillet on top and then carefully placed 3 cans of beans on top of the skillet to compress it.

Let it rest for 30 mins and then slice into thin slices.

Gyros!
