Instructions
We need to have stripes of meat for this, so slice the meat up.
Mix the stripes of meat with the herbs and spices in a big enough bowl. Adding a half cup of cooking oil will help us make this a smoother experience. It's recommended to place the meat in the fridge for at least a couple of hours to marinate but in case of emergency, we can start roasting it immediately.
Sear the stripes of meat with a little oil in our favorite pan. We can also roast it on a grill.
Serving Gyros
Gyros meat can be served on its own with a bit of salad but it truly shines through some Tzatziki sauce and pita bread. Make Tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, dill and some salt. Check out how to make Tzatziki sauce.
Fill the meat into a store bought or even better homemade pita bread. Nothing compares to some freshly made pita bread!
