My Greek friends say that this is the best GYROS Recipe

[@DonPandemoniac]

Fine blend of herbs and spices, and the cooking process was spot on. Nice job!

[@Jupizero]

We do not use those spices in Greece and we do not bake the meat like that because the fat drips on coal and becomes cancer on the meat. How it was spot on if its not like original

[@IamOmgPhil]

Great Job, Love from Greece, if you want a pro tip, use vinegar instead of Lemon juice its what a lot of places use in gyro and souvlaki

We used vinegar (apple cider) for years ambit lemon juice will do the job as well

From Norway. Your friends are right. This is the best Gyros I’ve ever tasted. Made it on a Kamado Sumo 🎉❤🎉

[@aconlin]

I tried this recipe. It was great!!! Thanks Pitmaster 😊

[@bastiaanroubos]

I made this one last weekend, based on you earlier Gyros and I took the dry rub from the Gyros Ribs you did recently. It was amazing, I forgot the fresh ingredients, that's for next time. And yes, I made it on a Grillchef (Landmann) barbecue on charcoal. It worked perfectly and tasted great! Made flatbread and had it with veggies, Gyros, tzatiki and french fries.

[@PITMASTERX]

sounds tasty, already craving gyros again!

[@bogdan7159]

I pronounce it gyros but my mate told me it's gyros. We got into a big argument but our other friend told us it's actually pronounced gyros ! So we all went out to eat some kebabs

Giro giro mallakia! This is what Fassilakis / Fassilli always said. The head chef of the restaurant where I worked early 90-ies in Heerlen, south of Netherlands. Grill horizontally over charcoal is the original way he always explained. Not the vertical thing you see everywhere. Especially the bucket of spices which he mixed himself to spread over the meat… Devine mixture… he kept the mixture secret…. Always.

[@alisonbailey8614]

OMG.....its gorgeous! My OH has been on abour good gyros for years. Now he's a happy man!

This is funny. As a student and a little later just married (mid 1980's, living in Holland) we had one of those tiny Moulinex electric ovens. Although a main purpose was apple pie and various oven dishes, it came with a rotisserie and we used it for our slowly turning grilled chicken.

[@conm87]

Love from Greece! My only comment is that you seems to have a bit of a tough time pronouncing giros. Easiest way is like this; they the Yee from Yee-hah, and the Ro from roast , and then ss at the end. Yee-ro-ss. :)

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

Not forgetting to roll the "R" off the tongue. 😉

[@doomkaisaras7660]

[@newtonbrook]

doable. I have the same grill. Made in Barrie Ontario. Will try this on Canada Day

[@PITMASTERX]

I went to the factory to assemble my own grill. Amazing people working in that factory

[@andrewgavin1490]

Are gyros always (or usually) pork? I lived 2 summers in Greece and had a zillion of them and I always assumed they were lamb or a lamb beef combo. But perhaps the pork is why they are generally better/juicier than doner (also spent a lot of time in Turkey). Even with doner I always try to add some tzatziki-like yogurt - which the Turks don’t actually seem to do

[@kristaps5296]

Unless you were asking for some other meat specifically you've been eating pork.

[@dekenlst]

Gyros in Greece is either pork or chicken, never lamb

[@RiazUddin-sk3uw]

Looks awesome 😋

[@ChaoticAnimal]

I would recommend having either kiwi or bicarbonate (baking soda) in if you’re going to marinate meats like pork, lamb or beef. It will break down and tenderize the meat so it will be even better. When it comes to chicken, an acid such as yoghurt or lemon is enough to cause the muscle fibers to release the tension so that it becomes really tender.

[@TheMarcusramsey]

Kiwi, like the fruit? I may have to try that!

[@ChaoticAnimal]

⁠​⁠@@TheMarcusramseyYes the fruit!🥝 It contains ”Actinidin” wich is the predominant enzyme in the fruit, and it will really tenderize your meat! Ginger🫚 also contains an enzyme that breaks down and tenderize meat!

[@coregaming3758]

Next time you should let the rotisserie turn the other way (Button has 2 positions) therefore all the juice will drop right infront of the backburner and'll add even more flavour. Nice job though. Motivated me to do the same next weekend.

The only problem I think it has is when u have guests over you won’t have enough to feed everyone the first cut. And when u wait for the 2nd or 3rd cut the previous meat is already cold and dried out. How do you solve this?

[@ro-robican2762]

I heard so many screw ups on the name GYROS ,but this one is something else 😅

Honestly, I don't get it because I have not tried it, but it looks amazingly good!

[@chrisk4418]

Well done guys. If you ever get the chance ( with the right cooking gear) set your gyros scewer vertically. Then it will be much easier to slice and the pieces will resemble greek gyros 100%. Will not make a massive difference though as you have done a pretty good job as it is!!

[@daveklein2826]

Buzz pita is not required

[@cagdasberksan5116]

Guys the secret is technically you need to put bacteria to decay the meet ..but you should only put products that will not over taste the good meat. Red onion is good but it gives bad smell. milk is good but caramilzes it. yogurt is amazing but when it Cookes yogurt gives different taste. Black pepper makes it darker, white peppercorn can over takes the meat flavor and gives and odour. Can try apple vinegar. Olive oil is good option. Lemon is good for PH balance. Also grain is important . you need to calculate how you will cut it hence cut the meet according to grain.. also drizzle with melted butter and use some good animal fat between meat slices for extra taste. fat should drop to charcoal or ceramic cubes and instantly vaporize and go back to meat for BBQ flavour. Turks use cheap milk for 24 hrs and salted milk second day.

Do you keep the sliced off gyros in a tray below the rotisserie until everything is sliced off? Otherwise I fear that the first pieces are cold when the last ones are done. Thanks for the recipe

Have a lot of people over and keep serving. Gyro dries out quickly so slice and serve if possible.

The trick is to not have the heat too high. Slow and low flame so the oregano doesn't burn. The rotisserie means their is never direct flame or heat in one section as the meat is constantly circulating.

Yes, off coarse you can replace it with beef or lamb.

You actually had me with this #BadGreekRecipes until you actually put your gyro (properly pronounced YE roh) until you put it on a burger bun. WTF?!? Just use a pita like you're supposed to. Don't have one? Use naan. Don't have that? Why not? You just made the meat from scratch. Either make some or buy pita from the market. They're definitely available. If your "Greek" friends tell you that they like their gyros on a bun you need some actual Hellenic friends.

[@murgel2006]

Looks great! So I wanted to save the recipe from the website and was surprised to find that the print option is gone. Personally, I do consider this a MAJOR letdown and a serious design flaw. 1. your printing option produced good quality documents and now one is limited to the various browser prints that do not produce a good document. 2. your printing option included the change between metric and US and that was a really good feature. 3. your printing option included an option to change the number of desired portions which I saw as a good boon to offer. I'm sure you had your reasons for removing that feature. Whatever the reasons were, to me it is a MAJOR nerf to the Pitmaster X website.
