    Greek-American Gyro Meat

    I put this under Beef…….

    Greek-American Gyro Meat

    Beef, Lamb
    Servings: Yield: 6

    Description:
    This recipe is just for the meat.

    Ingredients:
    1 medium onion, quartered
    1-pound ground lamb
    1-pound ground beef
    5 garlic cloves
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 heaping teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
    1 heaping teaspoon cumin powder
    ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

    Ingredients from Adam Witt

    1 pound Ground Beef
    1 1/2 pounds Ground Lamb
    3 Garlic cloves, chopped
    1/2 Onion, chopped
    1 tsp Dried Parsley
    1 tsp Dried Thyme
    1 tsp Dried Oregano
    1 tsp Black Pepper
    1 tsp Paprika
    1/4 tsp Cinnamon
    1 Tbsp Kosher Salt

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 325 °F, 160 °C.
    Place the garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.
    Add onion and puree until smooth.
    Add ground beef/lamb with all of the spices. Pulse until the mixture becomes like a paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl in between pulses.
    Place the mixture in a loaf pan. Compact it as much as possible.
    Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the internal temperature registers 165 °F.
    Allow the pan to cool at room temperature completely. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before removing from the pan.
    Remove from pan onto a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice it thinly. Pour all of the pan juices over the slices along with any of the fat that has gelatinized. It adds so much flavor when heating it up for the sandwiches.
    At this point, the gyro slices can be placed in a freezer-safe bag and frozen for future use.

    Notes:
    Freezer Instructions: Place the cooked gyro slices in a freezer bag or an airtight (freezer-safe) container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to use thaw and pan-fry until golden.

    In Arabic it is called Kibbee.
    Kibbee nayeh is raw with a sprinkle of olive oil, snatch a piece of Pita, scoop it up, delish!

      A friend's ex-wife used to make that. At least she was good for something.

    Thanks for this! The Paprika app was giving me fits, but I can import it from here.

      Appreciate the recipe! We (my boss and I) typically order a pound of gyro meat each (we call it Mystery Meat) from a local shop for our weekly lunch salads. Might be nice to make it in-house a few times rather than pay the $10 per lb price every week.

        When I did this, I used 80/20 for both the lamb and ground beef (I used ground chuck). It turns out fine....both Dimitra Khan's and Adam Witts' methods allow the fat to "fall off."

          One thing to consider doing is to slightly undercook the meat (but not by much!) if you're planning to brown it in a pan after slicing (recommended).

            So I did his yesterday. Took it to 150 and let cool. Lordy, it gave up a lot of fat! I used 80\20 -ish on both. I saved the fat to sear off the slices later. Man, my fridge is heavily perfumed right now!!!

              I'm a little confused, there are two recipes above, which one did you use?

              My wife is headed to the store to pickup the ingredients. Which recipe did you use, or if you have tried both, which one did you prefer?

              Hey 58limited and Donw based on Michael_in_TX feedback that he wanted to try the second recipe, I just put them both in my paprika as a reminder. I am writing it up as I go through the process.

              I used the first recipe. BUT I did not have fresh rosemary, so I omitted it. And because I like paprika and cinnamon, I added the amounts from the 2nd recipe.

              So far, it tastes pretty good!
