BEEF Gyros & TSATSIKI

Beef, Chicken or Lamb Gyros you can take any kind of meat and convert it to GYROS...that's the fun about this recipe.

Gyros is a typical greek dish. Everyone, has seen these tall vertical spit where layers of meat are hanging on there to be roasted.

Well, at home we have to find a different method it by either grill a fair amount of meat in the oven or if you have about 4 people you could use either your pan or a steak grilling pan.

Here are the ingredients for 4 portions:

900 g of your favored meat

3 garlic cloves

1/8 l olive oil

2 tsp. thyme

2 tsp. oregano

1 smal onion

Salt, Pepper

Let's start cooking:

Part 1:

Rinse meat with cold water and dab it dry. Cut it in thin layers. Crush garlic cloves, olive oil, herbs and add it to your meat. Place it for 30 mins. in fridge.

Add olive oil to the heated pan and fry first batch for it for 8 min. or until brown, then your second batch...season it with salt, pepper and herbs....Keep it warm.

The finishing touch pure the sliced onions over the meat...

Tsatsiki

Part2:

Some they use only joghurt and some mix it up with quark and yoghurt. It depends what you like or what you have at home.

If you do not like the fresh garlic you could use garlic powder. It works the same.

Ingredients:

500 g Yoghurt

2 -3 garlic cloves, minced

3/4 Cucumber

1 Tbsp Vinegar

Peel the cucumber and core the seeds. Use a grater to rub the cucumber in small pieces add them to the yoghurt. Season with salt, pepper, herbs and vinegar your Tsatsiki is done!

This is a very simple version, but if you like to add to your meat veggies then this is a second version of  Greek Gyros

I added edamames (shelled), soja bean to my Greek Gyros and it was again....

Delicious to the TASTE!
