Ingredients

• 0.5 Medium onion, minced
• 1 Pound ground lamb
• 1 Pound 80/20 ground beef
• 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 Teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 Teaspoon cumin, ground
• 1 Teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 Teaspoon rosemary, ground
• 1 Teaspoon thyme, ground
• 1 Teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 1.5 Teaspoons sea salt
• 1 Spray cooking spray

Steps

1. Prepare the Onion: Pulse the onion in a food processor until it is finely minced. Transfer the minced onion to a towel, gather the ends, and squeeze out the excess liquid.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained onion, ground lamb, ground beef, garlic, oregano, cumin, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan evenly with cooking spray.
4. Process the Meat: Working in batches if necessary, place the meat mixture into a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the texture becomes tacky.
5. Form the Loaf: Transfer the processed meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing down to eliminate air pockets.
6. Set Up for Baking: Line a medium roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the loaf pan in the center of the towel-lined roasting pan. Carefully pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the loaf pan.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (70°C).
8. Cool and Slice: Remove the loaf from the oven, pour off any accumulated fat, and let it cool slightly. Slice the loaf thinly using a sharp chef’s knife.
9. Serve: Serve the gyro meat wrapped in warm pita bread, topped with fresh tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this homemade gyro delight!
