UMMMM Greek food. Apparently Gryos were invented in NYC not in Greece but either way I love them. I didn't realize that in reality this yummy sandwich type things are not made with a lamb leg, flank, etc. Rather they are made with ground meat. So, off I went to find ground lamb, bison, and pork...the combination I wanted to use to make my gyros.I followed Alton Brown's cooking method found here. I also took ideas from this website, Serious Eats.
Ingredients:
- 4 oz Bison
- 4 oz pork
- 8 oz lamb
- 1/2 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1-2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pat the meat pace into a loaf pan and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the meat loaf into a water bath and into the oven. Cook for about an hour or until the internal temp reaches 160-165 degrees.
- Remove meat from the oven. Place a brick wrapped in tin foil on top of the meat and let it sit for 15-20 min or until the internal temp reaches 175 degrees.
- Slice your meat nice and thin. Place on a grill or skillet to brown the edges of the meat.
- Toss on a pita with Tzataiki, onions and tomatoes.
