Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Lean ground beef
  • 1 lb. Ground lamb
  • 4 tsp. Minced garlic
  • ¼ cup Finely chopped red onion
  • 1 oz. Pork rinds pulsed into crumbs
  • 1 tsp. Rosemary
  • 2 tsp. Ground thyme
  • 1 Tbsp. Dried oregano
  • ½ tsp. Ground coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly chopped parsley for garnish if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the ground parsley. Blend the ingredients on high with a paddle attachment until the mixture forms a sort of sticky paste. If you do not have a paddle attachment for your mixer, you can use a blender or food processor to accomplish this as well.
  • Press the meat mixture into the bottom of a well greased loaf pan, and bake for 55 minutes.
  • Drain any excess liquid or fat from the loaf pan, and let the loaf cool for 15 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the loaf, and heat the slices under a broiler on high for 2-3 minutes if a more dried and crispy gyro meat is desired.
  • Top with freshly chopped parsley as garnish if desired, and serve.
