  • 1 lbsLamb, ground
  • 2 clovesGarlic, minced
  • 0.5 mediumyellow onion, finely diced or grated
  • 1 tspDried Oregano
  • 1 tspdried marjoram (or dried thyme)
  • 1 tspGround Cumin
  • 0.5 tspOnion Powder
  • 0.5 tspGarlic Powder
  • 0.5 tspSmoked Paprika
  • 0.75 tspSea Salt
  • 0.25 tspGround Black Pepper
  • 1 TbspOlive Oil, for searing

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the dried oregano, marjoram, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lamb: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the ground lamb and sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the meat.

  3. 3

    Sear & Crisp: Break up the lamb with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes until fully browned and cooked through. Allow some of the edges to press flat against the skillet so they get crisp and slightly charred, mimicking street-cart gyro meat. Remove from heat and drain excess fat if desired.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyro Bowls: Base: Chopped romaine lettuce, mixed greens, or cauliflower rice ​Vegetables: Diced English cucumber, cherry tomatoes (halved), and thinly sliced red onion ​Add-ins: Crumbled feta cheese and pitted Kalamata olives ​Garnish: Fresh lemon wedges, extra chopped dill, or mint leaves
