My GF and I love Gyros and we really loved the flavors going on with this meat. We made our Gyros and were delighted with each bite! Very good flavor! Thanks for sharing this with us! Mike

Took 5 min to put together (I used garlic powder b/c I really didn't feel like doing ANY cooking). I shaped mine into a meatloaf and then thinly sliced into gyro strips when it was done - like they do when you buy it out. I threw it into a pita half w/ thinly sliced white onions, tomatoes, and some tzatziki from Costco and YUM - tasted like regular gyros!

This is one of those recipes that I really find exciting! Probably because I start out feeling skeptical about making it... I don't know what I was expecting, maybe that it would taste like meatballs or an Italian meatloaf or something. Plus I was using all beef. Well I'll be a Greek chef if it didn't start smelling EXACTLY like gyros as it broiled away in the oven! I could hardly wait to slice them up! I made them precisely as stated in the recipe, but I did broil them longer as my patties were thicker.I also flipped them halfway through so that both sides would brown nicely. Shaye, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed these with homemade Tzatziki, thinly sliced tomatoes, and crumbled Feta cheese on warmed pita bread. I'll be making these VERY often, and next time will probably try the 1/2 beef 1/2 lamb combination for even more authentic Greek flavor. Thank you so much for a fabulous dinner last evening that is still being talked about today!

I've made a recipe similar using 3/4 ground beef and 1/4 ground pork. I also add 2 TBSP finely chopped fresh basil. I roll into the center of each "burger" sliced feta cheese and broil or fry on a grill pan. The added flavor of basil and feta is really yummy!
