Sheet Pan Beef Gyros
These Sheet Pan Beef Gyros are an easy, flavor-packed weeknight dinner made with seasoned beef roasted on a sheet pan and served in warm pita with fresh toppings and creamy tzatziki.
Equipment
- 1 Sheet pan 18x13" or 15x10"
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef or lamb
- 2 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 2 teaspoons salt & pepper, each
- ½ yellow onion grated
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Tzatziki Sauce:
- ½ English cucumber grated
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
For assembly:
- 4-6 Pitas
- 1 head Romaine lettuce chopped
- ½ cup Sliced red onions
- 1-2 Tomatoes diced
- Crumbled Feta
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the gyro meat: In a bowl, mix together all ingredients for the beef gyro mixture. Spread the mixture into an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I used an 18x13-inch pan, but a smaller pan will create thicker strips (just adjust the cook time if needed).
- Place another sheet of parchment over the top and use a rolling pin to roll the mixture out until it’s evenly spread and smooth.
- Using a bench scraper or knife, score the meat into evenly sized strips. Drizzle or brush the top with olive oil, then bake for 20 minutes. For the final 3–5 minutes, switch the oven to broil to lightly crisp the edges.
- Make the tzatziki: Grate the cucumber and squeeze out any excess liquid. Add it to a bowl with the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and seasonings, then stir to combine.
- Assemble the gyros: Spread tzatziki and lettuce onto a warm pita, then top with the gyro strips, tomato, red onion, parsley, and feta.
