Greek Gyros
Gotta build a roti ring for my weber, got the motor but need a ring then I'm making this
Re: Greek Gyros
This looks awesome & I have just ordered the meat for Saturday.
Going to do it on my gasser rotisserie with the rotisserie burner. Just wondering how long after I start will I be able to start carving some meat off and what would be the overall cook time.
Cheers in advance

Re: Greek Gyros
First cut you're looking 1.5 - 2 hrs, total cook 3 - 4 - depending of course on thickness of gyros & fire temp.
Re: Greek Gyros
Ok, next question:
What do I need to tell the butcher to do to get the Steaks from the shoulder? I went in and told him I wanted a shoulder boned & cut in to steaks & when I just went and got it, I have a boned & rolled shoulder which he didnt cut into steaks as he didn't think it would work. He charged me $36 for just over 2kg of meat that I don't think I am going to be able to use for this.
Cheers

Re: Greek Gyros
I usually ask for gyros meat, lamb or chicken, and it can be marinated or non-marinated (i usually get marinated)
The lamb i believe is from the shoulder and cut thinly - the chicken is butterflied thigh fillets.
Place em on the skewer together - as in, lamb/chicken/lamb/chicken/lamb etc. Delicious !
Most butchers should know what gyros meat is.
<edit> I pay $15kg for lamb and $9 for chicken.

Re: Greek Gyros
Its a long shot, But Im going to unroll an Aldi boneless lamb shoulder and try this out tomorrow.
Birthday lunch so pending on fire bans on how I cook it.
With any small piece, do I just slice them thin and sandwitch them in with the larger pieces?

If trees screamed when we cut them down, We wouldn't. If they screamed all the time we would.

Re: Greek Gyros
yeah i would, as long as its all compressed together with the rotiss spikes so it turns as a whole 'log' then it'll all cook.
Re: Greek Gyros
Thank you sir

Greek Gyros
Ended up buying a leg of lamb and boning it myself then cut it up into steaks to marinade. Made up the full marinade but only had 2kg of meat. The 100g of salt was too much and the outside bits were almost inedible.
Will scale this back next time but will def do this recipe again.

Re: Greek Gyros
Hi gnol
A bit late, but Happy New Year.
I'm just getting around to making your gyros recipe.
Just bought the meat - lamb shoulder.
I'm going to do this in the Weber 320Q rotisserie I just bought.
I was wondering about what 'oven' temp you might suggest I set the Q at to rotisserie this.
Looking forward to this feed.
Thanks gnol
Cheers
Chris

Re: Greek Gyros
Also need to know, is there any point in brining a lamb shoulder prior to using the Gyros marinate.
Not sure if it would enhance or destroy the Giros flavor.
Anyone got any thoughts?
