GYROS - AN AUTHENTIC RECIPE FOR MAKING THEM AT HOME



Gyros - an Authentic Recipe for Making Them at Home image

Yes, you can make authentic gyros at home --> the texture and flavor of this meat is as good as you get in a good Greek restaurant, without the traditional rotating spit.. but this is just the recipe and technique for making the meat, for I'm assuming you know the drill on making the classic gyro sandwich - stuff the meat in a grilled pita with sliced tomatoes, onions and tzaziki sauce.. Enjoy!

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground lamb (optional, you can use all ground beef if you're weirded out by lamb) (optional)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and mix well.
  • Knead the mixture on the counter for 10 minutes - just like you're kneading bread. You may want to use a dough-scraper to help keep the counter clean. (I do). Pick that meat up and SLAM it into the counter, continuing to do so for the 10 minutes. This is key to getting the correct texture. I'm no Alton Brown, but I think the thing we're doing here is melting the fat so that we get a nice smooth texture in the end.
  • Form into a flat loaf - I like to put the meat onto a piece of wax paper, and flattening it into a 3" high slab rectangle. I cover it with another piece of wax and use a rolling pin to flatten it out, just make sure you straighten out the edges to form a rectangle so that when it comes time to slice, they are nice and even.
  • Bake the loaf on a broiler pan (or pan with raised edges, because it will leak grease!) at 350 for about an hour. Alternatively, you can grill it over coals, that's my favorite way, just be sure to turn often so as to distribute the juices.
  • Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing thin.

GREEK MEATBALL HERO

Provided by Amanda Freitag

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup milk
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 eggs
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 English cucumber, diced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt
4 hero rolls
8 ounces homemade or store-bought tzatziki

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs with the milk in a small bowl and rest for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumb mixture, the beef, feta, Parmesan, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic and eggs. Portion the meatballs into 3-ounce balls (16 meatballs total), then roll in your hands and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the meatballs start to brown, 15 minutes.
  • For the hero: Place the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and parsley in a bowl. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice into the bowl and gently toss the vegetables to coat. Season the salad with salt and set aside.
  • Split the hero rolls lengthwise three-quarters of the way through (one end should still be connected). Toast the inside of the rolls on a hot griddle. Place the cooked meatballs on the griddle to crisp the outside and heat through. Place 4 meatballs in a toasted hero roll, then dollop 2 ounces of the tzatziki over the top, and finish with some of the salad. Repeat for the remaining hero rolls, then serve.
