Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. For the best flavor, use ground chuck or sirloin.
  • Season the beef well. A good blend of spices will make all the difference.
  • Cook the beef over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much beef to the pan at once, it will steam instead of browning.
  • Let the beef rest before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
  • Serve the gyros with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include tzatziki sauce, diced tomatoes, red onions, and feta cheese.
