Tips:

  • 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.
