Hello everybody, I hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a special dish, homemade gyros. It is one of my favorites. This time, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
For make-at-home gyro meat this is pretty darn tasty. This may not be as good as my favorite Greek restaurant's gyro but it's as good (or better) than most gyros that you find at restaurants. I served with a tzatziki sauce from this site as well. I was amazed at how easy this was to make.
Homemade Gyros is one of the most well liked of recent trending meals on earth. It’s easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It is enjoyed by millions every day. They’re nice and they look wonderful. Homemade Gyros is something that I have loved my entire life.

Yes, you can make authentic gyros at home –> the texture and flavor of this meat is as good as you get in a good Greek restaurant, without the traditional rotating spit. but this is just the recipe and technique for making the meat, for I'm assuming you know the drill on making the classic gyro sandwich - stuff the meat in a grilled pita with sliced tomatoes, onions and tzaziki sauce. Here is my version of Alton Brown's recipe, as I made some changes, mainly with the ingredients (beef and lamb vs just lamb). I also added a step to make them more crisp, which imitates the rotisserie method quite nicely..
