Make gyros at home with this tasty Greek-style gyros meat recipe that blends ground lamb and beef with onion, garlic, rosemary, and marjoram. Slice and serve on pita bread with lettuce, red onion, tomatoes, tzatziki sauce, and feta.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried marjoram
- 1 tablespoon ground dried rosemary
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound 93%-lean ground beef
- 1 pound ground lamb
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Process red onion in a food processor until finely minced. Scoop onion into a piece of cheesecloth and squeeze it to release as much moisture as possible.
-
3
Return onion to the food processor. Add garlic and process until the garlic is well integrated. Blend in marjoram, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
-
4
Gradually blend ground beef and ground lamb with the onion and seasoning mixture by alternately adding small amounts of each meat to the mixture and processing until well incorporated before adding the next batch.
-
5
Firmly pack the meat mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, assuring no air pockets are trapped in the meat.
-
6
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 175 degrees F (80 degrees C).

7
Drain grease and slice thinly to serve.

Scacce Ragusane (Sicilian Stuffed Flatbread)
This is my first attempt ever at this incredibly unique and delicious Sicilian stuffed flatbread (scacce Ragusane) recipe. What we have here is a very familiar pizza-like flavor profile, but the delivery system is unlike anything you've ever experienced. The outside edges are crispy and crunchy while that saucy and cheesy center is much like pasta in texture. So, while this is vaguely similar to a lot of things, it's really unlike anything else.
