Gyros Spice Blend

Make your own gyros at home with all the great flavours of your favourite takeout.  Or use this Middle Eastern-style marinade blend as a rub on your next roast or steak. 

Lex has been tweaking this Beef Gyros Blend to get it just right for years. She's excited to have you try it and make your own gyros at home. 

The word "Gyros" comes from the Greek "turn" / "round". A street food with orgins possibly in Turkey (doner kebab) or Armenia. While it is similar to other vertical rotisserie street foods like Shawarma, traditionally served by carving off the cooked outside edges and stuffing them into a pita, onto rice or a salad. Gyros is made using ground meat.  

Using our Beef Gyros Spice Blend, just mix with ground beef and you are ready to go. 

Cooking Beef Gyros

On the BBQ 

The quickest and easiest way is to form your Beef Gyros into patties and cook them as you would a hamburger.

In the Kitchen

You form your gyros into a meatloaf and cook it as you would a meatloaf or cook patties on a hot cast iron grill to get that nice crispy edge. 

Have a Rotisserie? 

You can also build a tube of ground meat and slow roast it on your rotisserie if you'd prefer. It's certainly fun to do occasionally.

Mix things up and turn this into a Gyros Burger by serving it between buns instead of in a pita wrap.
