Gyro Meat

Description: I got this recipe from the newspaper years ago, and make it frequently. I serve it with my cucumber yogurt sauce, which I'm also posting. Be warned- It is very garlicky. Also, use less pepper if you're using all beef instead of lamb.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb lean ground lamb (I frequently grind the lamb in my food processor or meat grinder and sometimes add beef)
• 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano (crushed)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

1. Combine ingredients in a bowl, and shape into 1/2 inch thick patties.
2. Broil 8-10 minutes until no longer pink.
3. Slice thinly and serve with pita bread, sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced onion, cucumber yogurt sauce.
