Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, ground thyme, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 pitas
Optional toppings: lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, fresh dill and feta cheese
3/4 cup greek yogurt
3/4 cup grated cucumber ((I like to use an English cucumber))
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium-high heat and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the seasonings and 1/2 cup of water. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce has thickened around the meat, about 5 minutes.
  • While the beef cooks, make the Tzatziki sauce. Start by squeezing the excessive liquid out of the grated cucumber, discarding the liquid. In a small bowl, mix the grated cucumber with the remaining ingredients.
  • To assemble a gyro, layer a pita with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and ground beef, then finish with tzatziki sauce, fresh dill and feta cheese.

GROUND BEEF GYROS



Ground Beef Gyros image

If your family likes gyros as much as mine, they'll love this easy version that's made with ground beef instead of lamb. I found the recipe in a newspaper and adapted it to fit our tastes. They're very much like the ones served at a local restaurant. A cucumber yogurt sauce adds an authentic finishing touch. -Ruth Stahl, Shepherd, Montana

EASY LAMB AND BEEF KABOBS OR GYROS



Easy Lamb and Beef Kabobs or Gyros image

I wanted gyro meat that tasted like the kind in the Greek restaurants. I wound up combining ingredients from 3 different recipes and was amazed at the awesome result! It smelled so good even before it hit the grill.The "easy" part is that you can just throw this on the grill, broil, bake or pan fry it. It's also easy because I buy the Tzatziki sauce, Quinoa tabouli, spanikopita appetizers and hummus at Costco and I have a ready-made meal for my family or a larger crowd. I also serve with split Pita breads and we make our own gyros with sliced garden tomato and sweet onion.
