Equipment

  • meat slicer
  • Blender or food processor
  • metal or aluminum loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground venison 80:20 venison:pork mixture
  • 1 red onion rough chop
  • 3.5 tsp garlic or more
  • 2.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground marjoram
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • dash cayenne or more for added spice
  • 2.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp ground pepper

Assembly

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Place red onion and garlic in the blender/food processor and blend until finely chopped but not liquified.
  • Add all of the seasonings and the meat. Depending on your processor size you may have to do this in batches. Blend until it is a smooth cohesive sticky texture. I place in a bowl after and mix by hand even more to ensure flavor consistency.
  • Place in a tin foil bread pan and evenly spread it out. Bake for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160℉. I also like to make sure the outside has a good crisp on it.
  • Drain of all the fat and let rest until you can handle the loaf of meat. (~30 min)
  • Using your LEM meat slicer on a very thin setting, slice your gyro meat. If you do not have a meat slicer, this can be accomplished by cutting thin slices with a sharp knife.
  • Assemble your gyro as desired and ENJOY!
