What Is A Greek Gyro?

A traditional Greek gyro sandwich features lamb, often roasted on a spit (rotisserie style) which is then shaved and placed on a piece of warm pita bread.  The meat is then topped with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and a creamy tzatziki sauce.   The sandwich has a terrific blend of flavors, its filling and addicting!

How To Make This Greek Gyro Skillet 

This easy skillet meal is a blend of all the Greek flavors that make up a classic gyro sandwich.  This recipe starts with ground lamb that is browned with onions and garlic.  If the lamb is too strong for you, ground beef or even pork could easily be substituted.  Where gyros have diced cucumbers, I chose to use diced zucchini instead (warm cucumbers are not the best).  Rice is added to the beef along with vegetable broth.  Fresh tomatoes, olives, and feta are stirred in just before serving.  If you really wanted to get fancy, you could also stir in sun-dried tomatoes.

 Skillet meals, like this Greek Gyro skillet are the best! They don’t take a lot of time, the process is simple and hurrah for fewer dishes to wash!  If you like this skillet meal, then you should try this Tortellini Skillet Lasagna, Cheeseburger Skillet Dinner, Skillet Turkey Tetrazzini, One Pot Taco Pasta, Beef and Broccoli Rice Skillet, and this Chicken Enchilada Skillet!
