Steps:
- Run the onion in a food processor for about 15 seconds. Place the onion in the center of a kitchen towel and squeeze out the juice and return to the food processor.
- Add the meat, garlic, spices, salt and pepper to the onion, and process. Do so until it looks like a fine paste, about a minute. Place the mixture in a loaf pan and press evenly.
- Bake in a water bath (place loaf pan inside another pan filled with water) at 325°F (165°C) for about an hour or more until temperature reaches 165-170°F (75°C.)
- Remove from the oven, drain fat, and place on a cooling rack.
- Cover meat with aluminum foil and a heavy weight (Alton suggests a brick) for about 15 minutes until internal temperature is 175°F (79°C) (I found the times are not quite accurate, and I didn't know if the brick actually had an effect, but I think the important part is getting the meat to the correct temperature.)
- Place meat on a cutting board and slice as thinly as possible with an electric knife (using anything else would be much more difficult.)
- I added the following step myself as I think it mimics the rotisserie a bit more. Add a few slices to a nonstick frying pan (very little or no oil) and heat gently until the meat browns a little.
- In another pan, heat the pita bread.
- Finally, place the meat on one half of the pita, topped with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion. You could also put a little Greek dressing on the tomatoes too (extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, salt, oregano.)
- Serve Homemade Greek Gyros with rice pilaf or a Greek salad, and enjoy!

4.7/5 (26)Published Feb 9, 2021Category Recipe Roundup
- Skordalia. Hearty, rich, and flavorful, skordalia is a must-try Greek dip! This dish takes its name from one of its main ingredients, skordo, or garlic.
- Greek Salad. With Greeks’ heavy use of vegetables on their dishes, this roundup wouldn’t be complete without a proper veggie salad. You’ll only need seven ingredients to make this refreshing meal, and all of them are super easy to find at your local grocery store.
- Greek Lemon Potatoes. Roasted thick potato wedges are flavored with a garlic-lemon broth. This is one addictive dish! Besides the delightful taste of Greek lemon potatoes, they have golden crisp edges that make for a crunchy bite.
- Chicken Gyro. This Greek pita sandwich is loaded with chicken tenders, veggies, olives, and tzatziki sauce. Using a yogurt marinade for the chicken is the secret to its tantalizing flavor.
- Greek Butter Cookies. If you want to infuse Greek flavors into your next holiday meal, these Greek butter cookies are a must-have. These cookies may not be the best-looking, but when you take a bite, you’ll have to go back for seconds!
- Tzatziki. Tzatziki is a classic Greek meze (appetizer) that you’ll find in almost any Greek restaurant. This yogurt-cucumber sauce pairs well with gyros, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables.
- Spanokopita. Healthy spinach and creamy feta cheese are all wrapped up in crispy phyllo dough. This is one of those Greek recipes you won’t want to miss!
- Greek Fried Cheese. I thought the perfect appetizer for any meal didn’t exist until this Greek fried cheese (saganaki) came along. Crunchy meets gooey with this cheese, coupled with salty and zesty flavors.
- Greek Fries. Dressing up plain fries Greek-style has never been easy with this recipe. All you’ll need is a simple homemade seasoning and a couple of Mediterranean toppings.
- Greek Honey Cookies. Greek honey cookies are sticky, moist, and crunchy. In short, they’re to die for! If you’re looking for a new cookie recipe for the holidays, this is it.
