Gyro Meat.

BBQBuddy · August 2016

Any great recipes out there for gyros? I just read the reviews of Alton Brown's recipe - they are mixed, so I'd like to find a sure bet.

The folks at the Butt Blast seemed to like the gyros. They were gone pretty quickly.

if your cooking it in an egg, these make incredible gyros.

This looks like a good recipe. I think I'll try it with 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef and a half lb of ground lamb though. I kinda like the taste of the Kronos brand gyros (yeah....I know..)

@doubleegger I love this pic:

I'm assuming that's a whole skewer that's sticking down in the meat?

hmmm.....I wonder how that would turn out on a joetisserie...

DoubleEgger · August 2016

Yeah. I stuck a skewer in the top to give me something to hold onto while slicing the meat. I insert it after the cook now...

DoubleEgger · August 2016

Cut the garlic in half on the meat and the sauce. Trust me.

He gives instructions on how to do on a rotisserie and that is how he did it on his show so I would think it would work great

@doubleEgger is the gyro sitting in a foil wrapped can?

If I had a rotisserie, this would absolutely be the first thing I would make. I love gyros.

No. It's just wrapped in foil. Pull off the foil for the last 15 minutes or so to brown the sides.

This has been in my On-Deck list for too long

Gonna try and bang this out this weekend with some flat bread we have been making off and on for spinach dip.

BBQBuddy · August 2016

Thanks all!
@DoubleEgger - Did you use just lamb or combine w/ beef? Your cook was amazing!! I'm inspired. Thursday night is going to be gyro night!

I used Alton's recipe and cut the garlic in half. That's it.

And I can attest to its deliciousness.

I too have used Alton Brown's recipe for gyro meat a few times and it comes out great. I have a rotisserie on my gas grill and its a lot of fun. Around Easter, Costco has lamb pretty cheap so I stock up.

Budaman5000 · August 2016

Oh man this looks amazing....

hondabbq · August 2016

Made this up today with homemade gyro bread. Can you tell which ones I rolled out and which my wife did? Lol.
Followed the Alton brown recipe and halved the garlic like was posted. I think it would have been fine as per the recipe and a bit more salt.
Next time I'll skewer the meat before cooking to avoid the lean.
Very happy with it for a first crack at it. This on the rotation again for sure.

DoubleEgger · August 2016

Looks good! Did you make the tzatziki in the recipe?

bgebrent · August 2016

Nice job! The tzatziki is key.

No I just make my own. I just wing it.

Alton's tzatziki is crazy with the garlic. That's what I cut in half.

@ DoubleEgger - I finally made the gyro meat last night. It was delicious! Also did Greek chicken - it was outstanding.
