How to make American-Greek Gyro

[@ketolife4775]

I use to eat these in Berlin Germany, a little Greek Imbiss was across the street from our Barracks. They used a Lebonese pita, a puffed pita they would cut in half, pull out the airy bread inside the half pita, and stuff the insides with gyro meat, onions, tomatoes and Taziki sauce. Best gyros I have ever eaten.

[@TheGriddleGuys]

Nice! Sounds delicious! Thanks for watching Keto! and for being a subscriber! -N

[@msgee5131]

@@TheGriddleGuys I used to eat authentic Gyros when I was stationed in Ludwigsburg, GE and Baumholder, GE.. In Baumholder, I think the guys were Turkish that owned the Gyros stand... They would put goat cheese on theirs and a banana pepper on the top of Gyros, after making... The fries were delicious, as well...

[@scottgraham6717]

Kinda amazing how two ground meats can come back together so well they look as stable as a slice of bacon! Really want to try this one. Great job as usual. Thanks!

[@TheGriddleGuys]

I thought the same thing Scott. And the flavors blend well to. It doesn't taste like lamb, doesn't taste like hamburger. Somewhere in the middle. Hope you enjoy it! Griddle on bud! -N

Guys,you are the best! I have no idea why you are not over 100,000 subscribers! You have given me soooo many ideas on cooking on the Blackstone. Your banter is the best out here! Between you and the Hungry Hussey, I have learned so much and tried so many new foods. My family and friends love what I cook up for them because of what I have learned from you three. How to do smash burgers! Cut your bacon in half! Pizza! Butter steamed potatoes! (OMG Jeff, they are awesome!") Steak! Chops! Lamb! Breakfast! Breakfast for 20 people on the Blackstone!!! People! Share these three griddle guys with everyone you know. Everyone can learn how to cook on a Blackstone, and be entertained as well. Please Nate, fix that light. ROFL Thanks Guys!

[@dankpelt]

Jeff, you can 100% use a garlic press without peeling the cloves. If it's a huge clove or you stuff a few in, it can explode backwards a little instead. Give it another whirl, it saves so much time if you're already using a press.

[@dankpelt]

What up Saturator? So I pulled it from the oven and let it cool down to room them, then popped it in the fridge in the baking dish overnight. Next day pulled it out and scraped off the congealed fat.

[@robertwozniak55]

is there a recipe for the tzatziki sauce

[@TheGriddleGuys]

Hi Rob, yes, this video has my tzatziki recipe in it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXy3g3age9B_i7s to save you time I typed it out. As much full fat Greek yogurt as you plan to make. Peel and seed cucumbers, then shred them on the large grater size of a box shredder. After they are shredded, use cheesecloth or paper towels to squeeze the ever living heck out them to remove moisture. You want about a 50/50 mix volume wise of yogurt to cucumbers. I use at least 1 large cucumber per about 1.5 cups of yogurt Grate 1 clove of garlic on a fine grater so it turns into a puree, then add to the mix add mayonaise to taste. This gives it a richer flavor but be careful, you don't want it to taste like mayo. I start with 1 clove of garlic because when it is raw and grated it is very potent. You can add more but definitely taste as you go! Many people add Dill and Lemon. My personal preference is to leave these out as I don't care for them but the choice is yours. thanks for watching Rob! Cheers -N

[@geofferywhedbee9047]

Jeff, what diet are you doing? It's working great!

[@Parrotheadrenee]

Keto hack: I’ve made similar to this but used crushed pork rind crumbs (instead of bread crumbs) and it works out perfect! I sub equal amount pork rind crumbs for any recipe calling for bread crumbs or almond flour…you really can’t even tell the difference & I’ve served to non keto folks that love it without question!

To cut down on the bulk try putting 1-or2 lettuce leafs (instead of chopped lettuce) on the bread first, and to make this into a United Nations meal try a browned tortilla instead if the bread.

As good as Giro's are, you guys should make a Maritime Donair from scratch. Same process but way better. Plus I use a meat slicer to cut so it gets a bit thinner and not so dense of pieces. Also the sweet sauce is the kicker on a Donair. I'd love to see a video of the comparison from you guys.
