Poor Man's Gyros 2 of 2

[RudyHHH]

Excellent! Thanks!

Awesome video. Trying this myself tonight with a home made tzatziki sauce (this is essential for gyros IMO but i'm a sauce person). I've read if you don't have a brick slam the ball o meat down like a dough ball on a cutting board for a good five minutes. The slamming and the gradual loosening of the residual fat will help pack down the loaf.

this method is ingenious. thanks a lot.

This looks great! I raise lambs and was curious about doing this, but I was always too intimidated to make gyro meat. Thank you!

its greek meatloaf!!

[TheMrpalid]

This is real neat, I always wanted to try this myself at home

[silne08]

I've never thought to do something like this. This is a great idea whether you're trying to make a gyro or not. I will be preparing pre-sliced and packed lean ground meat every so often for quick go to and healthy lunches. thumbs up ^_^

[Nwrig004]

You can also put the meat in a processor and pulse it a few times to get it really well blended this make the end loaf much more homogenized. But your method is equally as good looking :)

[Nwrig004]

You cook with affection and I like that :)

[CaliDude1984]

I could eat that whole loaf in one sitting! yum! thank you!! :)

[neilizbad]

you did a great job, i'm def going to try this, thank you.

[laraskye]

Thanks for sharing! You've taught me something new with the brick. Shame on anyone for saying anything negative...stinky Greeks! lol. God Bless America!

[chrisrajive]

[freedomdontcomefree1]

Outstanding !!! Thanks for the recipe:)

[Tiiukai]

Thank you so much for this terrific video.Your presentation was precise and easy to understand, and I can't wait to try it in a few days. I know it will taste terrific based on the combination of ingredients.

[shibby22]

Packed harder than a block of hash :) good job.

[mary8810002]

Thanks for posting this. Im going to try this over the weekend but I may substitute the ground turkey for beef since I try to reduce my intake of red meat greatly.

[rathm017]

Thank you for this very helpful video. I had never seen the use of a brick before. Great idea for packing the meat. Your combination of spices is great!

[angryniggah]

love the entire how-to video on the gyro (better than alton browns because it's practical), but i'm gonna leave off the mayo and tortilla for tzatziki and pita bread.

This has nothing to do with Gyros (Γύρος), it's just disgusting ...!

Very american!

[heartlandcountrystor]

Thank you for your comment! I welcome your reply video on showing me the detailed recipe of how Gyros are made.

However, as an American, I will review it without the need to attack your origins.

@romanaki Jesus there's always one of these idiots in every video... Gyros were invented in New York by Greek immigrants to make money on the streets in the early 1900s using traditional greek seasoning methods. Tzaziki and the word gyro were original greek but gyros as the world knows them now are not, So way to be so ignorant and insulting when you don't even know what you're talking about. How un-American of you!

[HindiReader]

would the rich mans version have just ground lamb? and i heard rosemary is critical for lamb cooking

[heartlandcountrystor]

Thank you for your comment.

Actually you would just use lamb and beef on a 1:1 ratio. Rosemary may be an additional herb to enhance the flavor. You can vary the herbs to your liking.

[bmomoney22]

@HindiReader I use rosemary often in mine but it's probably more for the aroma then actual taste but it is really strong so be careful. Oh and yeah it sure is used often in most lamb and other greek cooking. It rocks with Italian too!

[HindiReader]

i love this, you are so good

[heartlandcountrystor]

Thank you! You may have to add more seasonings than what I originally put in. The flavors were not as strong as I like them. But the technique still works well.
