Alton Browns Gyro Meat Recipe

    This is a good recipe, although the spice combination may not exactly match the flavor of restaurant-style gyros. The rotisserie and oven methods lead to two COMPLETELY different results, my advice for homebcooks is to slightly undercook the meatloaf method, then slice thinly and return to the oven after setting to broil. This will get you that crispy texture you are looking for without requiring a rotisserie

    Alton Brown’s Gyro Meat Recipe, This is a good version of gyro meat. I like to mix in a little ground beef with the lamb. Cooking times are approximate and include resting times. There are a lot of steps but it is easier than it looks. And the end result is worth it., This is a good recipe, although the spice combination may not exactly match the flavor of restaurant-style gyros. The rotisserie and oven methods lead to two COMPLETELY different results, my advice for homebcooks is to slightly undercook the meatloaf method, then slice thinly and return to the oven after setting to broil. This will get you that crispy texture you are looking for without requiring a rotisserie, so, putting a foil lined brick on it is going to raise the temperature 5 degrees fahrenheit?
