GYRO BURGERS
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground lamb
1/2 lb ground pork
1/4 c chopped fresh mint or 1 tsp. dried mint
1 1/2 tsp thyme, dried
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp each, salt & pepper
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp olive oil
1 small onion
2 clove garlic
BASTING OIL
4 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp thyme, dried
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp each salt & pepper
**or you can use 1 tsp. greek seasoning**
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
2 medium tomatoes
8-10 large lettuce leaves
feta cheese
tzatziki sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Using a mini food processor or chopper, puree the onion and garlic together. You want a very smooth consistency.
  • 2. In a bowl add your beef, lamb and pork.
  • 3. Add your pureed onion & garlic and your spices. Mix till all spices have been thoroughly incorporated. Avoid over mixing to keep the burgers moist and tender.
  • 4. Using a piece of wax paper, measure out 1 cup of meat and place on paper.
  • 5. Fold over the paper to cover the patty and using a small plate, flatten into burger. You can make as thin or thick as you want.
  • 6. We like a good size burger. Continue to mold burgers by using a separate piece of paper for each burger. Once molded, chill till ready to grill.
  • 7. In a small bowl, add your basting oil ingredients. Slice tomatoes and place them in the basting oil. Set aside to ready to assemble.
  • 8. Baste your grill with some oil to avoid sticking. When grill is at medium high, grill your burgers. We do 5-7 minutes per side. Please grill to your preferance.
  • 9. When ready to assemble: Spread 1 tbls or so of tzatziki sauce on both bottom and top of buns.
  • 10. To bottom bun, using 1 lettuce leaf, dip the leaf into the basting oil, then lay on the bun.
  • 11. Add your burger.
  • 12. Add your seasoned tomato.
  • 13. Sprinkle with feta cheese if desired. Cover and take a huge bite!!! Enjoy!
  • 14. *A traditional tzatziki sauce* https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/maria-arkle/greek-tzatziki/vegetarian-other-sauce-spread?k=tzatziki+sauce&p=4&o=r

The gyro burgers were good, but I thought they were a little bland. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gyro burgers turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the meat.

These gyro burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some more moisture to the meat next time, maybe with some Worcestershire sauce or ketchup.

I love gyro burgers! The combination of ground beef and lamb is so flavorful, and the tzatziki sauce is the perfect finishing touch. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.
