How do you make gyros?

Answer 1

Gyro (correct pronunciation is "year-o", not "ji-ro") is a kind of sandwich of Greek origin. The meat is traditionally ground lamb. Mixed with spices and cooked on a vertical rotisserie. As the meat cooks it is sliced off in thin strips put on Pita bread.Then the customer gets to pick what he or she wants in it, (onions, fries, ketchup, mustard,tomatoes and a sauce made of Cucumbers and yogurt with garlic and olive oil called tzatziki. You won't be getting anything like the original anywhere else but Greece, because people change it around, adding lettuce and not a lot of the original. But if you ever go to Greece you will love them.

Answer 2

To make Greek gyros, first season meat with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Second, brush pita bread with olive oil then. Next, place meat and pita bread on the grill for 2 minutes on each side. Fill pita bread with yogurt, cucumber slices, and lemon juice mixed together. Top with grilled meat and tomatoes, lettuce, and onion.
== * 2 1/2 pounds of boneless pork loin, shoulder, or fresh ham * white wine vinegar * ---------- * Seasoning Mixture: * 3 tablespoons of salt * 1 1/2 teaspoons of sweet paprika * 1/4 teaspoon of pepper * 1/4 teaspoon of finely crushed (powdered) Greek oregano (rigani) * ---------- * For Sandwiches: * 6 pieces of thin pita bread * 1/2 cup of tzatziki (see below) * 1 medium onion, sliced * 2 tomatoes, sliced * french fries (optional) * olive oil

== Make the Gyro Meat: In a small bowl combine paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano. Slice the meat against the grain as thin as possible and pound with a meat mallet to less than 1/4-inch thick. In a flat-bottomed container, arrange one layer of slices, sprinkle liberally with seasoning mixture, then with a little vinegar. Spread the vinegar over the meat so that all pieces are moistened. Add layers, spices, and vinegar until all the meat has been marinated. Cover and refrigerate for 1/2 hour to 2 hours. Note: If there's any seasoning mix left over, store in an airtight jar and use again for gyro or as a rub for pork souvlaki.

Make the tzatziki and french fries. Remove meat from the refrigerator and slice into strips about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch wide and 2 to 2 1/2 inches long. Dry fry (without any oil) in a non-stick frying pan until browned and slightly crisp. Alternate cooking methods: Do not cut the meat into strips before cooking. Cook on the grill (or in a roasting pan in the oven) until the edges of the meat begin to crisp, then slice and serve.
