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.
