Traditional Greek Gyro Meat

Serves: 8
1 lb ground lamb
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic (2 cloves)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp marjoram (or another tsp of oregano)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until it is a fine paste - about 1 minute.
Press firmly into a 9*9 square baking dish, cover, and allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavors to mix.
Preheat the oven to 325.
Place dish in a larger baking dish and filling the larger baking dish half full of boiling water, creating a water bath for the meat.
Bake until the internal temperature is 165-170 - about 45 minutes. (If you are trying the sliced meat, it is ok if it is still pink. Otherwise, let it cook a little longer so it is not.) Remove from oven and water bath and allow to cool slightly. 
Slice thinly with an electric knife. Heat a skillet with a little oil and quickly fry both sides so they get slightly crispy.
Serve & enjoy!

  1. The texture and taste was almost completely authentic. The seasonings do need to be 1 1/2 at least.
    This can be made ahead, refrigerated, then reheated right at the end.
