Okay, the soapbox is put away now.
I have been exploring meats I have not cooked often and included amung them is lamb. I have never been a big fan of lamb before but have discovered that cooking it over charcoal to rare is really good! Below is a gyro recipe I put together to use some lamb steaks from my freezer- feel free to use just about any cut of lamb you can get you hands on.
Grilled Lamb Gyros
2 pounds lamb steaks
Sliced tomato
Dice red onion
Large lettuce leave
Crumbled feta cheese
Tzatziki sauce (recipe below)
Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper
Drizzle the lamb with the olive oil, salt and pepper then grill over medium hot charcoal about 2-3 minutes per side (go 5-6 if you want medium rather than rare). Slice the lamb thinnly and divide amung the lettuce leaves. Top with tomato, onion, cheese and tzatziki sauce. You can also brush pita bread with olive oil and grill a few minutes on each side and pile everything on that instead.
Tzatziki Sauce
1/2 large cucumber- grated
1 large clove garlic- minced
2 green onions- sliced
2 cups full fat greek yogurt
1 tbs kosher salt
1 tsp ground cumin.
Mix the cucumber, onions, garlic and salt in a bowl and put it aside fo about 10 minutes. Rinse and squeeze dry the vegatable then combine with the yogurt and cumin.
