Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Grass-fed ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 finely minced Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a food processor, add the finely chopped onion and finely minced garlic, and pulse until they become a smooth paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion-garlic paste, ensuring it is well incorporated.
Add the ground cumin, oregano, coriander, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the beef mixture. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Grease a loaf pan lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
Transfer the beef mixture into the greased loaf pan and press down firmly, smoothing out the top to ensure the mixture is compact.
Cover the loaf pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is slightly browned.
Once cooked, allow the gyro meat to cool slightly before slicing into thin strips.
Serve your Whole30 Authentic Beef Gyro meat alongside a fresh salad or Whole30 compliant sauces and enjoy!
