Grilled Lamb Gyros

[heart_this] · Aug 4, 2017 · 4 Comments

Grilled Lamb Gyros

Smokey Greek style grilled lamb gyros stuffed, fries, greek salad and cool and creamy tzatziki!

One of the best things about the summer is the ability to cook outside on the grill and I like to use the grill as often as possible! These grilled lamb gyros are a great way to do some of that outdoor cooking and they are so easy to make! Lamb chops are marinated in a souvlaki style lemon, garlic and oregano marinade before being grilled to smokey perfection. The lamb chops are then sliced and wrapped up in pitas along with a cool and creamy cucumber and garlic tzatziki sauce and a tasty tomato and olive greek salad with plenty of crumbled feta cheese and crispy fries. Yum! These tasty grilled lamb gyros are the perfect summer food to cook on the grill!

    Kevin, steps 2 and 3 are the same, and it seems something is missing from instructions. Can you correct since this looks like it would be delicious. Thanks.

    Hi again Kevin. My favorite gyros, from a food mall in the downtown Gallery in Philadelphia, were made with chunks of lamb instead of slices. Can chunks be used and, if so, would chunks be cut from chops after cooking or would it be better to chunk first and then skewer and then cook? Thanks again.
