Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: Opt for ground beef with a fat content of 80/20 or 90/10 for a juicy and flavorful gyro.
- Season the beef well: Use a combination of spices, such as oregano, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper, to add depth of flavor.
- Don't overcook the beef: Cook the beef over medium-high heat until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Overcooking will make the beef dry and tough.
- Use a variety of toppings: Traditional gyro toppings include tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce, but you can also add other vegetables, such as lettuce, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
- Serve the gyros warm: Gyros are best served warm, either on a pita bread or in a wrap.
