Gyro Time

Jen and I have found a really good Gyro and Sovlaki place in Windsor called the Greek Grill. I have made home made gyros a few times at home but have often used the left overs from a leg of lamb. After my first attempt at making some lamb sausage(which is what is usually used for gyros) I don't think I'll ever make them other way. I used a recipe by Alton Brown. I found out about this recipe from an old quater-back of mine who I saw in the grocery store one day. I think this recipe can compete with the Greek Grills Gyro.

I used half ground beef and half lamb as the meat. Being a student I am always looking to cut a price in a recipe with out sacrificing the output. I rolled it into a log and wrapped it tight with saran wrap. I then grilled it at medium heat for just under an hour. Served with some rosemary and garlic roasted potatoes and a greek salad makes one of may favourite take out meals now a fun make at home meal. I had quite a bit of gyro meat left over so I froze the rest for a easy and fast gyro dinner for another night.
