Easy Greek Lamb Gyros on the Griddle
4 gyros
These easy Greek lamb gyros are made with lamb sirloin and a simple Greek marinade. Add your favorite Greek toppings like tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce for an easy and healthy griddle dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb sirloin
- tzatziki sauce – We use the store-bought Hannah brand
- 4 pita bread – We use the Joseph’s brand
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Greek seasoning
- garlic powder
- Greek gyro toppings – shredded lettuce diced tomatoes, kalamata olives, banana peppers, feta cheese, sliced red onion
For the Greek Marinade:
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or you can substitute 1 tablespoon honey
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon Greek seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all marinade ingredients to a gallon size zip top bag. Stir to combine.
- Add lamb to the bag in the marinade. Zip the top of the bag closed while trying to push out any extra air from the bag. Refrigerate for about 4 hours.
- When lamb is done marinating, preheat griddle or skillet. Place the marinated lamb sirloin on the heated griddle and allow to cook on the first side.
- While lamb is cooking, spread a thin layer of olive oil on one side of each pita. Sprinkle Greek seasoning and garlic powder on top. Heat the pitas on the griddle, oiled side down until warm.
- When the lamb is about halfway cooked through, flip to the second side and continue to cook until done.
- When lamb is cooked to your liking, transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for about 10 minutes. Then, slice the lamb into thin slices against the grain.
- To make your Greek lamb gyros, add cooked lamb, shredded lettuce, tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, and your other favorite toppings to the warm pita bread. Fold like a taco and enjoy!
