Categories: Lamb/mutton, Herbs, Sauces
Yield: 8 Servings

MMMMM-------------------------GYRO MEAT------------------------------
1 lb Ground beef
1 lb Ground lamb
2 tb Bacon grease (optional)
2 lg Eggs
1/2 c Milk
2 tb Lemon juice
1 c Panko bread crumbs
1 md Onion; fine chopped
6 cl Garlic; smashed, fine minced
4 ts Kosher salt
2 ts Black pepper
2 ts Dried oregano
1/2 ts Dried rosemary
1 ts Dried thyme
2 ts Ground cumin
1 ts Dried marjoram (optional)

MMMMM--------------------------ASSEMBLY-------------------------------
Tzatziki Sauce
1 lg Red onion; sliced thin
4 Tomatoes; sliced
2 Cucumbers; sliced
8 Pita rounds
Fresh dill; garnish (optional)

Start by making the Tzatziki Sauce. It needs time to marinate, so
get it done first so it can sit in the refrigerator while you make
the rest.

Gyro Meat:

Set the oven @ 350?F/175?C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with
parchment paper. Or line with foil and spray with nonstick spray.

If you have a food processor, use it to finely chop the onion and
garlic. If not, use a knife to chop finely.

In a large bowl, add all gyro meat ingredients: 1 lb ground beef,
1 lb ground lamb, 2 tb bacon grease, * 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tb
lemon juice, 1 cup Panko crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, 4 ts
kosher salt (see note), 2 ts black pepper, 2 ts oregano, 1/2 ts
rosemary, 1 ts thyme, 2 ts cumin, 1 ts marjoram. It's ok if you
don't have the marjoram.

Combine the meat using your hands. Using your hands feels a little
weird, but it mixes the meat so much faster and more evenly than
using a spoon, resulting in nice tender meat, as opposed to being
over-worked.

Shape the meat into about 8 oval patties. Line them up on the pan
making sure they are not touching each other.

Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep
warm.

Gyro Toppings:

Thinly slice a red onion. Slice the tomatoes. Slice the cucumbers.
Warm the pita bread either in the microwave or in the still-warm
oven. Chop extra fresh dill, if you want.

Assembly:

Add a layer of Tzatziki Sauce to a warm pita. Slice a gyro patty in
half lengthwise for easier eating, and place on top of Tzatziki.
Garnish with red onion, tomatoes, cucumbers, and fresh dill.
Devour!
