Good video. Clear instructions and well edited. I typed the recipe for myself with instructions in order of preparation,with optional ratios of lamb and beef, for milder lamb flavor, especially if you are using older lamb (mutton). Copy and save or print, as desired. Gyro Meat: 1 Large Yellow Onion, cut into large chunks 4-5 Garlic Cloves, halved 2 lb ground beef chuck & lamb in a ratio from 90/10 to 50/50, according to taste 1 tsp Dried Thyme 1 tsp Dried Marjoram 1 tsp Dried Rosemary 1 tsp Dried Oregano 1 tsp Fresh Cracked Black Pepper ½-3/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes 2 tsp Kosher Salt 1. In a food processor, puree the onion and garlic until smooth. 2. Add beef and lamb and puree until completely emulsified. 3. Add spices and salt to meat mixture and combine thoroughly. 4. Pack meat into a 9” x 5” loaf pan, tapping the pan to eliminate any bubbles. 5. Bake at 325º for 50 minutes to 1 hour to an internal temperature of 165º 6. Let cool for 1 hour then drain and wrap tightly in a couple layers of plastic wrap. 7. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. 8. Slice thinly for gyros. Serve with tzatziki & horiatiki salata. for myself

I'm definitely going to try your recipe. I did one with cumin and could not tolerate the smell along with the lamb. The taste was okay. This recipe is more how I make my souvlaki or leg of lamb. Thank you.

Great little recipe nice and tasty, if you fry the slices to crisp them up that is good. Add a load of breadcrumbs and you have a gyros flavoured meatloaf with a more crumbly texture. Well done, take care, God bless one and all.

This really worked out well for me. It's a lot easier than whart I was doing, slicing leg of lamb, putting it on a spit and rotisserie cooking. The rotisserie cooking is pretty good. Where did you get the cutter for the food wrap?

Aloha! I would not substitute chicken for the beef/lamb because the texture wouldn't be the same, but you can always give it a try! If you'd like to use chicken, I recommend that you cut up boneless skinless chicken breasts/thighs into smaller pieces, marinate them with the spices (add some garlic & onion powder) and then cook the chicken in a saute/frying pan. Serve with Gyro condiments. It will be more like souvlaki instead of gyros, but you'll have the flavors. Happy cooking!

I have done this once before but my food processor was trash. What one are you using? Side note, I saved the juices and used them when I browned the meat… for real boss move.

Why not add spices when you add the meat? By doing it this way , I think the flavor is thoroughly in all parts of meat as it blends together.
@thesociallyawkwardchef
@thesociallyawkwardchef Жыл бұрын
Aloha! The reason why I don't add the spices in with the meat in the beginning is bc the spices would be overly blended & broken down for my preference. Adding the spices after meat is combined gives you flecks of the spices while still being thoroughly mixed. Try making it both ways & see which you like better. Mahalo for watching & commenting 🙂

Nice recipe, but why do I need to preheat the oven, mine is at the temperature indicated almost instantly. Is it because different ovens need different times to get to the desired temperature? Or because of something else? (Heating up the environment, and thus the ingredients?) I'm puzzled! Please help me out? (BTW I love how you keep on calling it: "Euromeat". Serves us right!)

So the best way to know that your oven is at the proper temperature is to use an oven thermometer (can hang or place on oven rack). That's the most accurate way to tell when your oven is at the correct temp
