Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 pound Ground Lamb
- 1 medium, grated Onion
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Ground Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground lamb.
Add the grated onion and minced garlic to the meat mixture.
Incorporate the dried oregano, ground cumin, dried rosemary, ground thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Transfer the meat mixture into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture turns into a fine paste-like consistency, ensuring the spices and herbs are evenly distributed.
Lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil, ensuring all sides and corners are covered to prevent sticking.
Press the meat mixture firmly into the loaf pan, making sure there are no air pockets.
Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the gyro meat from the oven. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
Carefully remove the meat from the loaf pan and slice it thinly using a sharp knife. Adjust the thickness according to your preference.
Serve the sliced gyro meat with keto-friendly accompaniments such as lettuce wraps, Greek salad, or your favorite low-carb tzatziki sauce.
