Here's how to make this ultimate Greek Lamb gyro at home.

Ingredients:
Pita Bread
Ground Lamb
Fresh Garlic
Red & White Onion
Tomato
Cucumber
Greek Yogurt
Feta Cheese
Fresh Lemon Juice
Red Wine Vinegar
Olive Oil
Marjoram
Rosemary
Salt & Pepper

Step 1: Prep the Meat
Add the ground lamb to a bowl. Shred or finely dice half a white onion and squeeze the moisture out before adding to the meat.

Grate 2 cloves of garlic and add that along with marjoram, rosemary, salt & pepper. Mix well, cover, and let it rest in the fridge for 2+ hours.

Step 2: Make a Tzatziki Sauce
Shred half a cucumber and squeeze out the moisture. Add that to a bowl with Greek yogurt, grated garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt & pepper.

Whisk this together until everything is well combined and set aside for the flavors to marry.

Step 3: Make a Simple Greek Salad
Chop up the other half of your cucumber and a couple of tomatoes. Finely dice a red onion and add everything to a bowl with red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and feta cheese.

Toss until everything is evenly coated and set aside.

Step 4: Cook the Gyro Meat
Form your meat however you like best, but I prefer doing an elongated smash patty of sorts to mimic the style of the traditional spigot-carved lamb.

Cook over medium heat, flipping halfway through, until you have some nice color on both sides.

Step 5: Assemble the Monster
Char your pita bread over an open flame or in the oven. Lay them flat with a slight overlap before adding some of your homemade tzatziki sauce, your Greek salad, and a generous amount of lamb.

Top with another drizzle of tzatziki sauce before rolling up your gyro (I suggest some foil or parchment paper at the tail end to tone down the mess.

Trust me, if you've been craving a classic gyro but don't have a lot of options to get good Mediterranean food, you definitely need to try this.
